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
Our school technology coordinators have a school survey that teachers completed March of 2004. This
survey gives a report of the needs of our teachers in the areas of staff development, technology
integration, parent involvement, hardware and software issues, students usage and funding technology.
The areas that need more training on in order to improve teachers in the classroom are providing staff
development time to work on curriculum integration which includes more training on software and
hardware. Our major emphasis at the present time is training teachers to use the i-Know website to
improve teaching and evaluating the Content Standards and Objectives.
Analysis of UCIP
In May of 2002 several Taylor County School system personnel, business partners and community
members met at the Good Shepherd Church in Grafton to develop a 5 year UCIP. Each year during the
month of December a team revisits the plan and addresses technology and other areas. Technology is
shown as an integration tool using the Technology Content Standards and Objectives.
Technology Infrastructure
Kathy Green has been hired as the Technology Coordinator for the Taylor County School System. She
works closely with her maintenance staff, RESA VII, the Basic Skills and WV Success Program and
school technology coordinators to upgrade and assess the infrastructure in each school.
Analysis of each school's digital divide surveys are made every January that drives the infrastructure
changes and improvements.
School Satisfaction Survey
Our school districts 6 principals are responsible for the yearly School Satisfaction Survey that is sent
home to parents. This survey determines the needs in our schools which includes technology. A
principal's meeting is held in the spring of each year to review the results.
OEPA Reports
On November 19, 2004 Taylor County School District received full accreditation status for all 6 schools.
In assessing the status of schools on performance measures, the following data was reviewed:
achievement, participation rate, attendance rate, and graduation rate.
Technology was used in our schools by our students and teachers to achieve all the areas listed above
in order to make full accreditation.
Not only are the students participating in the hands on learning in the area of techolology, but our
teachers are using it to provide the data to improve achievement which provides us with the information
to assess our needs.
Facilities Assessment
All classrooms in our school district are cabled and connect to a network and/or the Internet. Our goal is
to add a T1 line to West Taylor Elementary School upon completion in January of 2006.
