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.

Needs Assessment
Analysis of Assessment Data
Looking at the cell for All Students, in mathematics, compared with West Virginia, Raleigh County was
slightly above the state with the percent of students at or above mastery. Only grades six and ten had a
lesser percent than the state.
In reading/language arts, however, all grades in Raleigh County except seven were slightly below the
state percent of students at or above mastery. In grade seven the percents were equal.
Math was clearly the weaknesses at the secondary level.
All high schools had a greater percent of students at or above mastery in reading than in math with the
starting points for reading and math the same. All middle schools had a greater percent of students at or
above mastering in reading than in math although in middle schools the starting point for reading was
much higher than the math starting point.
Eleven elementary schools had a greater percent of students at or above master in reading than in
math even though the reading starting point was higher. Only eight elementaries had a greater percent
of students at or above mastery in math than in reading.
Most special education students were below the state percents in math and reading. Poor students
outscored the states in math except at grade ten. In reading, a few grades were slightly below the state
percent: fourth, fifth, eighth and tenth.
Black students outscored the state in math at every grade except tenth. In reading black students
outscored the state in third and fourth, then dropped from grade fifth through tenth.
Analysis of UCIP
Grade configurations for all schools have been in effect for one year...elementary K-5, middle 6-8. and
high school 9-12. We are continuing to provide technology to address this change.
Technology Infrastructure
Elementary schools have a 3.4:1 computer ratio. The goal is to lower that ratio 2:1.
Secondary schools have a 2.5:1 computer ratio. The goal is to lower that to 2:1.
OEPA Reports
One elementary school failed to meet standard 5.1.1. Fairdale Elementary was a school a choice for the
2004-2005 year. None of the Fairdale students chose to transfer. This year as with each year, they also
enrolled many students transferring from other schools.
Four additional elementary schools did not meet the standard, for the first year, in reading. One of those
also failed to meet the math standard.
All five middle schools met standard 5.1.1 for All Students in both math and reading. However, only one
met the standard in all other cell groups, for the first year.
Two of the four high schools failed to meet standard 5.1.1 for All Students in math for the first year. All
four schools met the standard in reading/language arts. One additional high school failed to meet
standard in all other cell groups for the first year.
Page 5 of 33
Work with all schools is in progress to help them meet standard 5.1.1. The Raleigh County School
Support Team has been very active with the schools. In addition, two elementaries and two middle
schools have received visits from OEPA this year. Stratton Elementary and Beckley Stratton Middle
have both received Full Accreditation Status. Fairdale Elementary and Trap Hill Middle have until
September 1, 2005 to reach full accreditation.
Facilities Assessment
All connections have been upgraded to T-1 connections.
Adult Literacy
Adult literacy needs are met in Raleigh County through 2 programs - Adult Basic Edication and through
Even Start. The county supports both of these programs along with federal funding and vocational
funding. Technology resources from the county are provided in these programs.
