The Tech Budget - Planning Today for a Smooth Tomorrow
The Tech Budget - Planning Today for a Smooth Tomorrow
Is your school's technology budget a thoughtful plan or just a way to pay for things when they break? In this episode, Thomas and Becky Wong explore how Catholic school leaders can take a proactive approach to
- technology spending that saves money,
- reduces classroom disruptions,
- and makes the most of limited resources.
They break down the essential components of a technology budget, including student and teacher devices, replacement cycles, software subscriptions, network infrastructure, technical support, and professional development. Along the way, they share practical strategies for stretching technology dollars, avoiding unnecessary purchases, and creating predictable costs instead of surprise expenses.
Whether your school has a dedicated technology budget or is just getting started, this conversation will help you build a sustainable plan that keeps technology running smoothly so teachers can focus on teaching and students can focus on learning.
