Facilities Guide for Technology in New Jersey Schools [|http://www.state.nj.us/education/techno/facstan/section1.htm#section1] Goals for the new facilities guide document are:
 * To serve as an up-to-date resource for schools involved in new construction projects or schools with technology upgrade initiatives, including additions and renovations.
 * To help schools and districts plan for and make intelligent decisions regarding technology and technology infrastructure (Please note that this document is not prescriptive, but presents recommendations, except where construction code or statutory requirements are cited).
 * To insure that key stakeholders are involved in all stages of the technology planning process.
