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:
The physical, cultural, and mental climate of the schools must be geared to providing equal
opportunities for education for each learner and to encourage the continuation of the education of every
learner in whatever direction this evolves.
County Mission:
The mission of the Barbour County School System is to provide high quality educational opportunities
for all students.

Needs Assessment
Analysis of Assessment Data
On the Writing Assessment, all schools met the 70% or above standard with the exception of Mount
Vernon Elementary School. Deficiencies were identified in varied sub-tests of the WesTest. AYP was
met in all sub-groups at Belington Elementary, Junior Elementary, Kasson Elementary/Middle, Mount
Vernon Elementary, and Volga-Century Elementary Schools. Belington and Philippi Middle Schools did
not meet AYP for Math and Reading for the Special Education sub-groups. Philip Barbour High School
did not meet AYP in Reading in the Low SES sub-group. These deficiencies can be partially addressed
through the use of technology to increase the emphasis on the identified weaknesses. Alignment of
identified goals/objectives will be done with BS/CE and SUCCCESS curricular software. Additionally,
Gear-Up funded curricular software, as well as educational opportunities available through the Internet
will be used.
Analysis of UCIP
The evaluation of School Technology Plans, USIP's and the UCIP identifies three consistent needs.
One is providing an emphasis on Basic Skills, especially Reading and the Writing Process. Another
focus is an increase of staff development in order to provide additional remedial, basic, and enrichment
opportunities. The other identified primary focus is to expand/update the technology available to our
school population.
Technology Infrastructure
Minor updates of infrastructure are needed BMS, KEMS, MVES, PBHS, PES, and VCES. The
infrastructure at PBHS needs completed in the areas that are presently under construction. JES will
need additional infrastructure if the requested SBA MIP grant is funded. PES is in need of additional
computers as their ratio of students to computers is 26.7 to 1 while the next highest ratio is 7.3 to 1.
School Satisfaction Survey
No weaknesses were reported with regard to technology.
OEPA Reports
At the present time there are no non-compliance items related to technology in any of our schools.
Facilities Assessment
At the present time the construction of Philip Barbour High School is being completed. Infrastructure is
still needed in the areas still under construction; administrative suite, counselors career center, and
gymnasiums.
Workstations
The greatest needs for workstations exist at PBHS and PES. At PBHS there are three new lab areas.
Presently there are computers available for two of the labs with one of these labs being Win95 units
that cannot support newer software. PES needs additional workstations in order to improve the ratio of
students to computers. BES and PMS are the only schools that have student workstations in every

classroom.
