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, through the collaborative efforts of students, staff, parents, and community, a school
system that affords its members a safe and attractive educational environment. In this age of
information, our schools will provide academic, social, and cultural opportunities enabling students to
reach their highest educational potential while developing positive self-esteem. Each student will be
provided an opportunity for positive learning experiences at their individual developmental level,
assisting them in becoming effective citizens.
County Mission:
All Lewis County schools will develop a nurturing environment from birth to adulthood that promotes
strategies for lifelong learning opportunities that will provide for the total development of all children.

Needs Assessment
Analysis of Assessment Data
1. Student assessment performance at RLBMS, LCHS, and Peterson Central does not meet state
standards.
2. Total MAT assessment scores for kindergarten below acceptable standards.
3. Writing scores still average countywide.
4. Special Education students countywide did not met AYP.
5. Low SES assessment performance deficient.
*Technology can address the above areas by continued training and use by teachers and students
through alignment of software (Compass, DIEBELS, SAS inSchool, Writing Expedition, and Read,
Write and Type,), plus analysis of data from Internet based websites such as WV Achieves, (I-know,
and TestMate Clarity) will highlight weaknesses in assessment results for these subgroups.
Analysis of UCIP
Continue the purchase and implementation of BS/CE software, SAS inSchool, and SUCCESS
productivity tools, to assist schools in meeting and exceeding state and federal assessment goals. The
continued infusion of staff development related to integration and adopted software/programs and
increased reliable connectivity will further enhance achievement countywide. In addition, a TIS position
is proposed to support the efforts of technology integration and ultimately increased student
achievement of statewide test assessments.
Technology Infrastructure
1. Continue to ensure adequate drops/electronics are available for reliable connectivity.
2. Install wireless technology where pragmatic.
3. Complete installation of T-1 lines for all schools.
4. Continue to replace and upgrade all forms of technology as older electronics become ineffective and
unreliable.
School Satisfaction Survey
1. Continue funding a webmaster to assist schools and teachers in homepage design and usage for
increased school, home, and community communications.
2. Continue funding Edline platform for school and teacher homepages for enhanced communications
and public relations.
3. Continue assignment and training in Email usage for all employees in more efficient and effective
communications with parents and students.
OEPA Reports
1. Include a TIS position in upcoming levy to assist schools in technology integration as evidenced on
OEPA audit last year.
2. Continue to provide professional development in technology integration countywide to address
deficiences in student achievement.
3. Special Edcuation and low SES population did not make AYP. Continue ongoing professional
development addressing these subgroups in technology integration for increased statewide assessment

performance.
Facilities Assessment
1. Address electrical deficiences at older schools through maintenance funds.
2. Purchase furniture that is more compatible to smaller classrooms and student size.
