a provider of interactive learning technology solutions that allows
the presenter and participant to engage in a fully collaborative
instructional environment. Galaxy's products include Galaxy's own
private-label interactive touch screen panel as well as numerous
other national and international branded peripheral and
communication devices. Galaxy's distribution channel consists of

products within the commercial and educational market. Galaxy does
not control where resellers focus their resell efforts, although
generally, the K-12 education market is the largest customer base
for Galaxy products - comprising nearly 90% of Galaxy's
sales.
.
The U.S. Education
Department
released an estimate of how much money each state
can expect to receive for K-12 schools under the stimulus plan,
which included a total of $168 billion for
K-12 and higher education. School districts will have until 2024 to
spend the stimulus aid.
The American Rescue
Plan includes:
-
$123 billion for
K-12 schools to be distributed through the federal Title I formula
for funding schools and districts with concentrated poverty. The
K-12 dollars will be focused on helping schools reopen and helping
students catch up on learning they have missed during the pandemic.
Districts must spend at least 20 percent of the money addressing
learning loss and must make public a plan for returning to
in-person schooling safely. Another $2.75 billion is allotted for
private K-12 schools, bringing the total to about $126
billion.
-
State education
agencies can hold on to about 10 percent of the allocation before
distributing the remainder to districts. State agencies must spend
at least 5 percent on learning loss, 1 percent on summer learning,
and 1 percent on afterschool programs.
-
$40 billion to
support higher education institutions, most of which would go in
direct grants to public and nonprofit colleges and universities, as
well as vocational programs. Minority serving institutions would
receive additional support.
-
$2.75 billion for
governors to share with private schools. This is the primary
mechanism for supporting schools beyond the public
sector.
-
$7.2 billion for
the E-rate program that makes it easier to connect homes and
libraries to the internet.
-
$3 billion in
added funding to support students
with disabilities
-
$1
billion to expand national
service programs to support response and recovery,
including tutoring programs in schools and other
priorities.

potential due to increased resources to school budgets. The new
orders include G2 interactive panels, accessories (G2 wireless
keyboards and mobile stands) and G2 Suite of learning software and
demonstrate both customers continued support for technology in the
classrooms and school buildings.

long-standing customers having purchased a wide variety of our
technology solutions for in the classroom and school building. This
aggregate of purchase orders received yesterday represents several
smaller orders as well as the single largest order received from

insight into Galaxy's possibilities after budgets are increased,
with the final passing of the new stimulus package."
