“Interstates and E-rates” by Gov. Bob Wise

The Labor Day weekend is fast disappearing in my memory’s rear view window, but the traffic experience of a three-mile stretch of barely moving vehicles on I-95 is still vivid. As I crawled through this traffic jam, I couldn’t help but draw parallels between the interstate highway system and technology infrastructure in schools; while both underwent major transformations in the 1990s and neither fully meet current demand, major strides have been made to upgrade the former, while the latter is stuck in a previous century.
