There have been several individuals who are protesting the omission of technology in the funding for competitive grants in 2011. "Based on numerous public statements and documents disseminated both by the White House and the Department, SETDA had every expectation that technology would be included not only as an independent cross-cutting priority for future discretionary grant programs, but also incorporated into all other priorities, as appropriate," wrote SEDTA executive director Doug Levin in a Sept. 7 letter to Education Secretary Arne Duncan. The SETDA pushed for the department to list technology as a priority, and the Department of Education has has acknowledged the comments about the lack of a technology priority.
