This document summarizes the district's 3-year technology plan. It discusses how the plan is developed by a technology planning committee and stakeholder groups. The previous plan's key goals focused on expanding access to technology through initiatives like one computer per classroom. The new plan's goals center around improving teacher technology skills and integrating technology into the curriculum. It also outlines tiers of technology use and standards to guide implementation. The plan proposes increasing the percentage of students and teachers demonstrating higher tiers of technology use and literacy.
