District Technology Plan
The Board of Trustees recognizes that technology can greatly enhance student achievement by increasing student access to information, developing their technological literacy skills, providing instruction tailored to student needs, and facilitating the administration of student assessments. Effective use of technology can also increase the efficiency of the District's noninstructional operations and governance. The Board is committed to the development and maintenance of a Districtwide infrastructure and to providing professional development for all staff that will allow the implementation of existing and new technologies.
(cf. 6162.51 - State Academic Achievement Tests)
The Superintendent or designee shall develop, for Board approval, a comprehensive three-year technology plan based on an assessment of current uses of technology in the District and an identification of future needs.
(cf. 0400 - Comprehensive Plans)
(cf. 1220 - Citizen Advisory Committees)
(cf. 9140 - Board Representatives)
The plan shall be integrated into the District's vision and goals for student learning and shall contain research-based strategies and methods for the effective use of technology. When required for state or federal grant programs in which the District participates, the plan shall also address all components required for receipt of such grants.
