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:
We envision all graduates of Kanawha County Schools as individuals who wil be productive and active
citizens in the communities in which they will live. Our graduates will be proficient in the basic skills of
reading, writing, and mathematics. They will contribute to the society in which they will live using the
critical skills of listening, speaking, and thinking. They will be able to organize, plan, and allocate
resources to the benefit of both themselves and others in their personal lives as well as in their
professional lives. They will be able to interact positively with others through teaching activities,
leadership, cooperation, and negotiation. They will be able to research and process information and
have a meaningful understanding of systems and how they work. They will be trained and motivated in
the use of technology. They will lead healthy, balanced, and creative lives through a lifelong
appreciation and development of art forms and of their own physical well being. They will demonstrate
character traits of respect for others, acceptance of responsibility, caring, fairness, trustworthiness, and
citizenship. They will be lifelong learners.
We envision a school system which will be driven by and accountable to its vision, mission, and goals.
A decentralized management system will serve, assist, and support each school as it strives to meet the
goals and ideas set forth in educational plans which refelct national, state and local goals for students.
The system will seek and welcome the input and contributions of parents, employees and members of
the community-at-large, thereby promoting a sense of meaning and ownership. System policy practices
will be student-centered and will reflect the cultural values as well as the educational and professional
needs of the students and the system. The system will be characterized by mutual trust among its
parents, employees, and other members of the community. Equity will be achieved by providing
students with educational services that will enable them to meet their own personal goals in life. The
system will value its people through positive recognition for creativity and a job well done.
County Mission:
The mission of Kanawha County Schools is to use all available resources to be a world-class
educational system within a safe and nurturing environment. Our schools will be places where teachers
can teach and students can learn academic skills, acquire appropriate social behaviors, achieve
individual potential, and develop positive character in order to become productive citizens and life-long
learners.

Student to computer ratio for computers with a Windows 98 operating system or higher is 5.3:1. Goal is
to reduce this to a ratio of 4:1.
There are currently 13 schools without a computer lab. Goal is to equip each school with a computer lab
(stationary or mobile) for each school by August 2007. Computer labs equipped with Windows 95
computers will be replaced with modern computers.
