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:
Technology must be interwoven throughout the educational program if students are to be prepared for
college, post-secondary education and the work force. Students of all ages will be life-long learners.
County Mission:
The mission of Preston County Schools is to prepare our students for college, post-secondary
education, and the work force.

Needs Assessment
Analysis of Assessment Data
The most current needs assessment available is the same one use for last year's plan update due to
the fact that we are not requiredt to update the UCIP and current re-tooling for the consolidated plan
that will become a reality next year. The following analysis is similar to last year except where known
changes have happened.
The goals of the Preston County School District focus on performance, climate, and commmunication,
but first and foremost is centered on student learning.
Assessement data from the 2003-2004 UCIP focuses primarily on the need to raise test scores in
Preston County. Data from the WesTest shows that 6of 12 schools did not make AYP this past year.
While support in many ways will be given to those six schools, a special effort will be made to provide a
mentoring system for the two lowest performing schools through the technology program for ultimate
use of computers in the classroom.
The data shows that schools are utilizing strategies and programs to foster an environment conducive
to learning, school facilities are safe and adequate to provide the minimum educational program under
Policy 2510, and that sufficient disciplinary policies are inplace county-wide. Each school has a
functioning student services team and personnel are recognized in various ways.
Communications in the school system with parents and other community entities also occurs through
newletters, media coverage, LSIC's Faculty Senates, business partners, and adult classes.
Articulation is occurring between grade level teachers and between sending and receiving schools.
Analysis of UCIP
The goals of the Preston County School District focus on performance, climate, and communication,
but first and foremost is centered on student learning.
Assessment data from the 2003-2004 UCIP focuses primarily on the need to raise test scores in
Preston County. The data shows that 8 of 12 schools must make improvements in this area to meet
AYP for next year. Six of twelve schools made AYP this year.
The data shows that schools are utilizing strategies and programs to foster an environment conducive
to learning, school facilities are safe and adequate to provide the minimum educational program under
Policy 2510, and that sufficient disciplinary policies are in place county-wide.
Each school has a functioning student services team and personnel ar recognized in various ways.
Communications in the school system with parents and other community entities also occurs through
newletters, media coverage, LSIC's, Faculty Senates, business partners, and adult classes.
Articulation is occurring between grade level teachers and between sending and receiving schools.
Technology in Preston County may be most effective in providing staff development that will help
teachers align the state technology programs with the curriculum each teacher is using to prepare their
students.
Page 7 of 37
Technology is already being used to foster and further the productivity of the various entities involved in
the communication process.
We will endeavor to align computer programs used in the Preston County School system with CSO's so
that computer time will enhance the student's learning. This will be accomplished through Professional
development through Compass, SUCCESS, and through local attempts to align curriculum throughout
all grades.
Technology Infrastructure
The digital divide survey shows very few classrooms in Preston County that do not have
network/internet access. In most cases these classrooms are a very few rooms that are separate from
the main building that are used for elective type courses or they may be a gymnasium or multi-use room
in this mix.
Although the survey shows that we still have four 56K lines, those lines have been converted to T1
lines. All schools are now served by T1 frame relay lines.
The only serious issue that the survey brings to light is the fact that Preston County has many machines
in service that use the Win 95 operating system. A major emphasis will be employed on updating
operating systems and or complete machines to eliminate the Win 95 operating systems from our
schools.
School Satisfaction Survey
The schoool satisfaction surveys have been, for the most part, kind to technology. No overwhelming
need has been identified with just the occasional mention of more computers, faster computers, and
faster internet. All of these areas continue to be addressed as funds become available and will continue
to be addressed in this and future plans.
The only need that perhaps stands out in these surveys is the need for computers in the individual
classrooms in the high school. We added 29 computers to PHS classrooms last year and need a least
that many more to bring the classrooms up to standards.
We do have nine computer labs in Preston high school and so basic access is not a big problem
overall.
However, we will need to work harder to provide some computer access within the individual
classrooms as funds become avaialble. We will accomplish this primarily through SUCCESS. Other
programs such as
Vocational Education, and Special Education will need to keep current with the technology in their
areas.
OEPA Reports
Preston County does not have any county-wide reports to address at this time. Individual schools have
submitted appropriate plans for correcting any situations on their "checklists".
Facilities Assessment
There are not presently any facilities problems that technology needs to address. While the CEFP of
Preston County has identified the need for closing old structures in the county, these old structures are
currently cabled in nearly all, if not all classrooms. Some wireless solutions have been utilized in areas
Page 8 of 37
that are inaccessible by regular "wired" cabling.
