    I would consider my school fairly modern. It's not American, however.

    Many classrooms now have electronic white-boards. Not all of them yet, but the number is constantly growing. If the board is needed, it's easy for a teacher to arrange for a classroom with one of the electronic white-boards to be available.

    The computers are slow, but not necessarily obsolete. They can be used for internet and word-processing but only about a third of them will run the more complicated applications. There's a small room with computers devoted to video editing. It's mostly a cost-cutting measure, but the result is that computers are usually available for classes that need them. Most computers still have CRT screens, but there's LCD screens as well.

    In this country, desks are commonly just small tables. They're modern, I suppose, although there are two classrooms which still use older (and heavily graffitied) ones.

    Laptops aren't available to students except in one of the small buildings which is used temporarily while a new building is under construction. Teachers, as far as I know, all have laptops.

    I don't know the details on the budget. Teachers rarely complain as such about their pay, although they do jokingly acknowledge they're not getting very rich.
