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
Based on a review of test data, there is a need to improve in the following areas;
1. Increase county-wide results in Reading/Language Arts and Math by at least 10% on the WESTEST
by June 2005.
2. To decrease the percentage of special education and economically disabled students who have not
met proficiency on the WESTTEST in the areas of Reading/Language Arts and Math by June 2005.
3. Increase Integration of Technology in the curriculum by June 2005 by 10%.
4. Reduce discipline referrals by 10%, decrease course failure and grade retention rates by 10%, and
maintain graduation rate of 80% or higher.
WVEIS and Tetra Data programs will be used by the administrative and teaching staff to analyze
assessment, attendance, discipline, failure, and grade retention rates. Compass Learning and Odyssey
reports will be utilized to correlate skill lessons to student needs. Additional hardware and software will
be placed in selected schools. The Reinvent Education site will be utilized for the assessment of
student writing. Teachers will utilize the WESTTEST, "I Know" website. Secondary teachers will be
trained to utilize the EDClass Program.
Analysis of UCIP
1. There is a need to increase the percentage of students meeting proficient level in Reading/Language
Arts and Math. Technology will be used to enhance student achievement through:
a. Analysis of student achievement data through WVEIS and Tetra Data Systems.
b. Staff training and implementation of the WESTTEST "I Know" Website.
c. Staff training on CSO's and teacher use of the WVDE Website and RESA VIII resource CD.
d. Basic Skills/Compass Labs will be used to increase proficiency in reading and math. Teachers will
receive staff development in correlation to CSO's and Compass.
e. Teachers at Romney Elementary and Romney Middle School will recevie training and implement the
new Basic Skills Odyssey program.
f. Teachers will utilize the ReInvent website to increase creative writing achievement.
g. Hampshire High School math and science teachers will continue to use palm pilots for students to
conduct research and data analysis.
h. Secondary teachers will use the EDClass program in their classrooms to enhance student learning in

Compass/Odyssey software and grades 7-12 will utilize office products.
j. Teachers and guidance counselors in grades 7-12 will utilize the e-choices and Bridges program to
encourage students to take higher math courses to meet career needs.
2. Technology has been implemented through WVDE Basic Skills, SUCCESS, Ed Tech Grants, Title I,
Title II, Vocational grants, Special education funds, Telecommunication grants, E-Rate funding, Rural
and Low Income grants, and Local funds. However, teachers are not making effective use of technology
in curriculum areas. The following needs are based on this finding and will be addressed through the
use of technology;
a. Additional teacher training with an emphasis on integration of technology in the curriculum and
meeting technology standards.

3. There is a need to focus on performance measures as related to discipline referrals, failure rates,
attendance, and graduation rates. There is a need to reduce discipline referrals by 10% and decrease
course failure and grade retention rates by 5%. To assure a positive school climate technology will be
used to:
a. Provide data through WVEIS data system.
b. Maintain and operate phone master system at Hampshire High School
c. Identify at-risk students and provide innovative services to ensure academic success.
d. Install security cameras in the new Romney Middle School hallways and entrances.
Technology Infrastructure
Based on school digital divide surveys, there is a need to provide an infrastructure that puts access to
modern technology in every school via a school lab and in every classroom. The network needs to be
reliable and fast. To meet this need, the following technology will be in place:
a. Use of E-Rate monies to fund high speed Internet connections and equipment for Internet
connectivity.
b. Design and install infrastructure at new Romney Middle School under construction.
c. Design and install infrastructure at new Capon Bridge Middle School under construction.
d. Upgrade Slanesville Elementary and Augusta Elementary Schools from a 56K line to a T-1 line in

f. Upgrade infrastructure at Slanesville Elementary School and Hampshire High School.
g. Replace outdated WIN 95 computers at Hampshire High School in year 2005-2006.
School Satisfaction Survey
There is a need to increase teacher/parent communications. This need will be addressed through
technology with Ed Tech Formula Funds. Technology Mentors will be contracted for each school to
develop and publish school web pages.
OEPA Reports
1. John J. Cornwell Elem. 4.1 Achievement

Facilities Assessment
Romney Middle School's current facility is prohibitive to the addition of increased computer hardware
and infrastructure. There are two separate two story buidlings. Mobile technology is limited and
permanent cabling would be futile due to the opening of new Romney Middle School in December
2004. E-rate and grant money is being expended to provide infrastructure and modern technology in the
new school.
A new middle school for Capon Bridge will be constructed in 2005-2006. E-rate monies and grants will
be expended to provide infrastructure and modern technology in the new school.
