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
Both East Hardy and Moorefield High Schools and Moorefield Elementary School met AYP for the
2003-04 school year. East Hardy Early Middle and Moorefield Middle did not. Scores on the WESTEST
for the High Schools reflected lower performance in Reading/Language Arts; particularly in the Low
SES and Special Education subgroups.
The WESTEST scores of of studdnts in grades 3-8 generally indicate a significant weakness in math;
especially in our special education population. While their Reading/Language Arts scores for all
students generally exceeded the state means, our special education students' scores were significantly
lower than than the state and county means.
Analysis of UCIP
All schools have a technology goal with objectives and activities to address technology and integration
needs. The building plans (premised on the old USIP) were used to help in the preparation of the UCIP
and the County Technology Plan. All schools showed a need for more training on integrating technology
into the content areas.
Technology Infrastructure
We will need to upgrade and maintain infrastructure at our five schools by adding drops, fiber, switches,
and modules.
School Satisfaction Survey
Each building technology contact indicates a need for additional software and training to meet the needs
of integrating instruction and technology.
OEPA Reports
During the 2002-03 school year, OEPA had findings in 4.1.b and 5.1.8 (technology integration) at East
Hardy Early Middle School. All of the issues in 5.1.8 have been addressed. They are using Accelerated
Reader, Basic Skills programs, and Reading First programs and are demonstrating general
improvement in 4.1.b.
Facilities Assessment
Each school has a technology team that works to keep the central office informed about facility needs.
An assessment is sent to the principal each year to list needs.
