"Educators plan to set up a Microsoft technology training program at a new 
charter school in Gresham...

"Schools pay Microsoft to be part of the program. For $1,500 or $5,000 a 
year, depending on the level of involvement, schools get access to software, 
online training and early access to new technology. "

Gresham is a stone's throw from Portland, which made national headlines 
earlier this year when Microsoft tried to extort gobs of additional license 
fees out of them, for product they had already purchased.
