The purpose of this study was to analyze Indiana school districts' level of access to instructional technology with respect to the level of poverty and percentage of minority enrollment. Demographic data regarding school districts' level of poverty and percentage of minority enrollment was collected from the Indiana Department of Education and compared to differences in the levels of access to technology. The independent variables were defined as: (1) school district level of poverty, and (2) school district percentage of minority enrollment. The dependent variable was: access to technology. The design of this study involved a population of 290 school district technology administrators in the state of Indiana. On October 3, 2005, the research survey was sent to 290 public school districts in Indiana and was addressed to district technology administrators. In total, 151 surveys were returned to the researcher by October 30, 2005 and used in the study. The study sample included 151 Indiana public school district technology administrators, 52.1 of the population. School corporations were distinguished by level of poverty and percentage of minority enrollment and categorized into one of three levels for each of these independent variables..
