The purpose of technology infrastructure in education is...

"To provide students with the education they need to thrive in a globally connected world, we must find ways to design, fund, acquire, and maintain the infrastructure that will make connectivity a reality for every teacher and student in every classroom."

From the US Department of Education Office of Educational Technology website

Cascade Technology Alliance was originally formed to bring the technological strengths of our four education service districts together to deliver even better tech services to our area School Districts then previously possible.  We have four objectives to meet before providing services to Schools.  They are stability, accessibility, innovation, and cost-sharing/saving collaboration.  By meeting these four objectives, our Oregon school staff, student, and parent users have exceptional solutions to support the learning environment.
