State leaders today face numerous challenges in designing, implementing, and maintaining statewide networks - from free speech to ethical standards to student records privacy to copyright. Many states find it necessary to establish policies to deal with these issues.

The Policy Matrix identifies five different policy areas:

• Total Cost of Ownership
  
• Network Use
  
• Security
  
• Procurement
  
• Governance

Each area includes a definition, associated essential questions, and related example policies and resources.
