County Technology Plan
West Virginia has placed an emphasis on equitably providing technology for schools in order to
enhance student learning, improve student achievement, and prepare students for post-secondary
education and the world of work. Many stakeholders are involved in this process including students,
teachers, administrators, parents, community members, legislators, board of education members and
others.
Collectively, the county technology planning team members have assisted in creating, refining,
implementing and utilizing educational technology to meet the current standards, develop local
programs, build partners and capacity, make data-driven decisions, and to evaluate the use of
technology for administrative and instructional tasks.
The county technology plan is a component of the UCIP and is based on the state OPTimal online
format (http://wv.ontargetus.com/). This plan will serve several functions. Not only does the plan
complement and support the county's instructional goals as delineated in the UCIP, it is also intended to
help meet the technology objectives/requirements of the school, county/state policies, state/federal
programs, and competitive grants. Examples of these include the following:
Policy 2320: A Process for Improving Education Performance Based Accreditation System
Policy 2450: Virtual Distance Learning
Policy 2460: Use of the Internet by Students and Educators
Policy 2470: Use of Technology by Students and Educators
Policy 2510: Assuring Quality of Education
Policy 2520: Content Standards and Objectives
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in order to receive Universal Service Fund Program
E-rate Funds
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 which establishes the Enhancing Education Through
Technology (Ed Tech) Program
West Virginia House Bill 4319
Basic Skills/Computer Education (BS/CE)
WV SUCCESS
WVDE Reinventing Education
However, the most important function of the plan is to ensure that the effective use of educational
technology supports achievement and lifelong learning.

County Mission and Vision Statements
County Vision:
Summers County Schools believes that the most thorough and efficient education that can be provided
to citizens must involve the total community. Although the school system bears the most responsibility
for education, it must involve other community agencies, the business community, community
organizations, parents, and the community at large in order to be successful with all students.
County Mission:
The Summers County School System shall involve the total community in preparing each citizen to
enter the workforce, college, or other post secondary training and in developing them to their fullest
potential as active, self-directed, lifelong learners.

Needs Assessment
Analysis of Assessment Data
CONCLUSION: Test scores are improving with all schools meeting the state accreditation standards;
however, efforts must be made to continue our progress. Report card distribution shows that most
students are learning what is being taught but test scores indicate that not all students are learning
State Content Standards at the mastery level on Westest. When disaggregating Westest scores by the
sub groups required by Title 1 of the No Child Left Behind Act, the data indicates that many sub groups
are not performing as well as the aggregated group and they are not performing at a level that would
allow the schools to meet the state standards.
TECHNOLOGY: Technology can be used to address this need in at least two ways. First, in elementary
schools the instruction offered through the BS/CE Compass Learning program will be more closely
aligned with the state standards and additional staff development will be provided for using the software
to meet students needs. Second, in secondary schools additional staff development will be provided to
integrate the Microsoft Office suite of projects supporting the standards at the secondary level.
Analysis of UCIP
Several conclusions drawn from needs assessment results can be addressed with increased or more
effective technology use. Following are the conclusions and how technology will be used to help.
CONCLUSION: Within the next 4 years 30% of Summers County teaching staff will be eligible to retire.
The need to replace staff with high quality professionals will be great.
TECHNOLOGY: The Summers County and WVDE web sites will be used to post jobs as they become
available. Additionally, professional recruitment sites will be used if necessary to recruit high-quality
professionals.
CONCLUSION: Technology placed in schools is at an all time high and staff is now in place to maintain
the equipment and provide for daily network administration; however, teacher and student surveys
indicate continuing need to improve integration of technology use with curriculum; initiate and maintain
web sites for each school and the district office.
TECHNOLOGY: Provide staff development for teachers and administrative staff to better integrate
technology into the curriculum and to add web sites and pages to web servers at each school. Greater
funding for staff development will be sought through an Enhancing Education Through Technology
grant to provide staff training through the Technology Model Schools program. All schools have been
updated to T1 lines.
CONCLUSION: Most data since 1982 shows a trend of increasing community/parent support; however,
a large percent of the community and parents are not actively engaged in the life of the school.
Research indicates that the most important aspect of parent involvement is for parents to be involved in
the academic life of their child. Local parent surveys also suggested that parents are more interested in
workshops that teach them how to help their child at home. A better instrument to measure
community/parents support has been developed but needs to be further revised.
TECHNOLOGY: The survey instrument will be constructed so that the answers can be scanned into an
Excel spreadsheet for easier analysis. Also, additional web sites and pages will be developed to
increase communication between the home and school.
CONCLUSION: Career planning and career preparation has improved with Partnership Development
efforts; however, the percentage of students engaged in college, other post-secondary study, or work
after graduation is too low. Additionally, the percentage of students that indicate a lack of challenging
work in school is too high and the percentage of teachers that indicate that schools provide a
Page 5 of 26
demanding and supportive environment is too low.
TECHNOLOGY: Increased use of technology for project based learning to teach the WV State
Standards will help meet this need. Also, continued use of the Classroom, Inc. simulation software to
teach the standards will occur. Staff development for these purposes continue.
CONCLUSION: Based upon surveys the majority of parents and student feel they are safe at school.
However, all schools have indicated a need for safe schools planning and more activities to make
students, parents, and staff aware of the safe schools plans. Additionally, school security audits and
survey information requested by the WV Department of Education indicate a need for security devices
and facility improvements to increase the security of our schools.
TECHNOLOGY: The WVEIS system will be used to track and analyze violations of the Safe Schools
Policy. Additional digital monitoring devices will be installed to monitor entry into the school and
activities in the school for prevention of safe school violations and evidence for prosecution of violators.
School Satisfaction Survey
School satisfaction surveys indicate that most of the problems are related to the length of time to
connect to WVEIS and internet. This has been partially corrected by installing T1 lines in the three
elementary schools and adding dedicated lines at the high school and middle school for distance
learning.
OEPA Reports
Final reports from OEPA have not been submitted to the county.
Facilities Assessment
CONCLUSION: All secondary and elementary schools have T1 lines. A distance learning lab started at
Summers County High School has degraded the use of the T1 lines at that location so it needs to have
an additional T1 line.
TECHNOLOGY: Summers County High School and Summers Middle School have had an additional T1
line installed. Both schools have added distance learning equipment and will be utilized starting early in
2005.
