Rick Becker, Government I.T. Manager
Mr. Becker thanked the members that served as reviewers. The Education Council has reviewed the education I.T. projects and have made their recommendations. The State Government Council must make a recommendation for the remaining 12 projects. The Technical Panel will review both council's recommendations and make final recommendation to be forwarded to the NITC.
The NITC will meet on Wednesday, November 1, 2006 to prepare their recommendations to the Governor and Legislature. Last year, the commission put projects in groups of Tier 1 and Tier 2.
Mr. Decker reminded the members that the NITC only makes the recommendations and that the Legislature will have final approval of which projects will be funded.
