Which items included in a technology bundle cannot be purchased from PPEL?
Excluded items would include software that is educational or instructional and professional development of staff that does not train staff in the operation of the computers/technology (Declaratory Order, page 93).
Bundling is optional. The reason a district might consider bundling is to meet the $500 threshold in the PPEL statute. Thus, all items in the bundle must be allowable under PPEL (meaning you can’t include non-PPEL-covered items in a bundle being funded by PPEL).
