A Net Link in Every Classroom7bm Harrison Santa Aria (CA) Unified School District "Lets work together to meet these goals: Every 8-year-old must be able to read; every 12-year-old must be able to log onto the Internet; every 18-year-old must be able to go to college, and every adult American must be able to keep on learning.... "Tknth, we must bring the power of the Inj~rmation Age into all our schools.Last year I challenged America to connect every classroom and library to the Internet by the year 2000, so that, ~r the first time in histor5 a child in the most isolated rural town, the most comj~rtable suburb, the poorest inner-city school will have the same access to the same universe of knowledge.I ask your support to complete this historic mission."--Bill Clinton, State of the Union Address, 1997
