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 Wayne County educational system will provide a safe, nurturing, challenging and developmentally
appropriate environment that empowers all students, pre-school through adult, to value learning as a
life-long pursuit and to enable them to become productive, responsible, competitive citizens.
County Mission:
The Wayne County educational system will provide the structure and opportunities necessary for all
students to become academically successful, socially responsible and productive in a global society.

Needs Assessment
Analysis of Assessment Data
Deficiencies exist in mathematics performance. Technology tools to strengthen basic skills in
mathematics at all grade levels will be emphasized.
Analysis of UCIP
Schools need to integrate technology into the curriculum. Schools need to implement various
instructional strategies and techniques especially the middle and high schools. Writing instruction needs
to become a part of every students' weekly educational curriculum in grades K-12 for all classes.
Teachers should implement various instructional programs to enhance curricular class offering.
Technology Infrastructure
All Wayne County schools have at least one frame-relay T1 circuit installed with router capability to
provide Internet access for data and video applications. Each Wayne County school should have at
least one computer lab to accommodate 25 students and wiring for three or more computer
workstations in each classroom. To improve network effectiveness, current LAN switches at the three
high schools need to be replaced and content acceleration hardware added. To facilitate technology
utilization, video network upgrades are needed which include hardware, circuits, site development and
centralized management.
OEPA Reports
Those schools that did not meet Annual Yearly Performance status will be the targets of Wayne County
resources. Recommendations made by the OEPA review team for technology integration will be
addressed.
Technology Committee Report
To improve student basic skills abilities in reading, writing and mathematics, continued distribution of
computers will be accomplished through the WV Basic skills project to serve elementary and middle
schools as needed. Computers provided by the WV SUCCESS initiative will be distributed to middle
schools and high schools as needed. The committee recommends the proposed upgrades to the video
network to enhance usage which supports curriculum content standards. Maintenance agreements for
computers and distance learning equipment will be supported to maintain network operations which
ensure uninterrupted classroom instruction.
