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 Cabell County Board of Education is responsible for preparing students to access, analyze, apply,
and communicate information effectively so that they will become successful, contributing members of a
changing, information-based global society. Accordingly, Cabell County envisions equitable access to
information technology for all Cabell County students.
County Mission:
Cabell County Schools recognize that in today’s society, all citizens must have the skills necessary to
access and communicate information. By including technology as an integral component of a
well-balanced K-12 program, our school system will provide students with the opportunity to develop
lifelong learning skills, through the use of technology. With technology as a tool, teachers,
administrators, and support staff will become more efficient and effective in facilitating and managing
the learning environment.

Needs Assessment
Analysis of Assessment Data
Analysis of assessment data was summarized by the county testing coordinator and assistant
superintendent. That analysis can be found in the UCIP, which was used by the technology committee
in the development of the county technology plan.Data of greatest value was the Cluster Data and the
item weakness reports form SAT/9.Analysis of 2002-03 Cluster data for grades 1-11 indicates the

Analysis of UCIP
The county technology plan was developed using analysis of assessment data found in the UCIP, the
county strategic plan, school technology plans, surveys of teacher and principals, input from the
Professional Development Council, input from system operators, technical staff, and the county
technology team. The collective results of the analysis of this data identified the primary concerns that
we have addressed: The need for comprehensive basic skill software for grades K-2. This software
must integrate tightly with our prioritized curriculum for math and reading. The year's focus will be on
math (k-5) and Reading (3-5) Professional development programs for teachers and administrators that
Page 7 of 35
will help them integrate technology into an already crowded curriculum. A technology re-fresh cycle that
will assure adequate, dependable computer hardware in every classroom in every school. A technology
support staff with the appropriate skills to maintain the network infrastructure.
Technology Infrastructure
Infrastructure surveys indicate the following results:High schools exhibit the greatest infrastructure
needs. We are currently in the process of converting from Token-ring technology to Fast Ethernet
technology. The schools are large and we estimate that it will take two to three more years of upgrades
to complete the task with the funding that is annually available.
Middle schools are also in need of replacement Ethernet switching equipment, increasing the backbone
to gigabit speed. Elementary schools currently have the best infrastructures in the county and will
require only minor work in the next few years, other than the occasional replacement of failing
switches.All of our schools currently have T1 Frame Relay lines used to access WEVIS and the
Internet. Each high school has two T1 lines and an ATM line used for video conferencing.We realize
that infrastructure upgrades are required annually and that funding must be allocated annually.Our
current student to computer ratio is 4 to 1. We are currently on a five year replacement cycle and our
goal is to move to a four year cycle.
