All my experience (teacher, tech. director, ed/tech consultant, 34 yrs. in education) reflects Scott's tenet that, at least in Mich., it's all about the superintendent. If he or she "doesn't get it" and most don't, all you have is administrative tech tools in the system. When they get it, education with technology happens. Teachers, unfortunately, have the power to change or influence one class at a time. The superintendent affects systemic change. Everything else, again in my experience, is window dressing. Sometimes wonderful window dressing, but still not what the store is really about.
