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:
Nicholas County students at all grade levels will be accepted and taught as individuals in consideration
of their individual differences. Each student has the right to an equitable quality education based on the
premise that all children can learn with each reaching their maximum potential. Further, we envision
students exiting our program instilled to be responsible citizens and life-long learners fully prepared to
succeed in a highly technical society.
County Mission:
It is the Mission of the Nicholas County school system to deliver a high quality school program to each
and every one of its present and future students. We believe that this can be accomplished by the
delivery of the following dynamic components.
1. Competent teachers delivering high quality teaching consisting of varied and appropriate teaching
strategies to meet the diverse needs and learning styles of students. The teaching to be delivered in
programs proven to be effective as a result of creditable research, evaluation, and /or objective
validation.
2. Teachers maintain high standards for their classes over the long run while, in the short term, they
vary expectations for individual students to motivate them and allow them to experience success. They
vary their teaching strategies in consideration of the individual differences among the individual
students in their classes.
3. The principals in our schools have a clear and distinct vision for their schools and follow policies and
proven effective programs that reinforce that vision. Principals facilitate the work of teachers by
adopting a wide variety of supporting behaviors while maintaining accountability.
4. The school programs are delivered in a professional work environment and a student learning
environment characterized by a safe nurturing climate. Staff and students treat each other with respect
fostering self-worth, dignity, self esteem, and positive thinking for individuals in both groups.
5. Four important curriculum resources are managed to produce maximum effectiveness of instructional
delivery. These include instructional time on task, quality of facilities, parent involvement and
community volunteers, and input and knowledge of effective teachers.
6. The schools extend the definition of community to include neighbors, local businesses, service
organizations, and senior citizens. It is an important mission of the school to develop strong
communications between the school and community and to maximize parent involvement in recognition
of it’s proven positive impact upon student achievement.

Needs Assessment
Analysis of UCIP
The greatest need in Nicholas County is continuing to meet the professional development teacher
technology standards as stated in policy 5310.
Technology Infrastructure
A review of Nicholas County School's technology indicated that we must continue to upgrade/replace
computer equipment and software to keep up with the ever changing demands of technology.
School Satisfaction Survey
School satisfaction surveys from the various schools in Nicholas County reported weak parent/teacher
communication and concerns in the area of writing. The schools will utilize the State-mandated
Compass software to improve writing skills. School websites and EDline on the secondary level, will be
implemented for stronger parent/teacher communications. Finally, basic computer training will be taught
to families in rural communities of Nicholas County.
OEPA Reports
We will have Staff Development for all school technology teams on completing and upgrading yearly
technology plans. Each secondary school's technology team will be responsible for training the science
teachers in the utilization of websites that offer virtual labs.
Facilities Assessment
The continuation of installing newer routers, upgrades of wiring, switches, and the continuation of
adding more wireless networks must always be a priority for Nicholas County Schools. We have now
upgraded all schools to T-1 lines and will utilize this to do technology related items to all schools.
Westest/Writing Assessment
The Westest was analyzed and showed areas of concerns and strengths. This information was used to
develop strategies to improve the academic areas in reference with technology. The Writing
Assessment was analyzed and results were integrated into the language arts areas of curriculum. We
also have started writing curriculum in some schools in all grades. We will be using technology with
writing assessment in secondary for the actuall testing this year.
