The document outlines a school's goals for technology integration according to the Texas STaR Chart. It evaluates the school's current status in areas like teaching and learning, educator preparation, leadership, and infrastructure. For each area, it provides the current "classification" and goals for improvement. It also discusses the E-Rate program, which provides discounts of 20-90% on telecommunications for schools to help achieve technology goals. The school aims to fully integrate technology across subjects, provide students ongoing access to resources, and ensure staff receive adequate professional development and support to meet technology standards.
