Summary
This file contains data from a 1999 quick-response survey, "Survey on Internet Access in U.S. Public Schools, Fall 1999" (FRSS 75). The survey was completed by school officials at elementary and secondary public schools. These officials were asked about Internet access and other information technology resources at their schools. Questions covered availability of computers, school and classroom level Internet access, whether or not particular groups within the school (i.e., administrative staff, teachers, students, disabled students) were able to access the Internet, number of computers on site, speed of Internet connection, sources of technology funding, and school personnel for advanced telecommunications support.
