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
Wetzel County results on Westest for the previous year will be reviewed to determine areas of
highest priority for remediation. This can be addrssed through the use of Basic Skills and Skills Bank
software in the school's computer labs and classrooms.
Analysis of UCIP
The Wetzel County Unified County Improvement Plan for the current school year has been reviewed.
The UCIP specifically identified 5 goals for the county. The County Technology Plan will specificially
address goals 1,2,3,4,&5.
Technology Infrastructure
A review of the goals established by each school in their respective school unified improvement plans
indicated a commonality of the goals, which will be incorporated into the county unified plan.
School Satisfaction Survey
The only School Satisfaction Survey item identified county-wide was more community access to
computer lab in the schools. This can be addressed by using Technology funds to provide supervision
for use of computer labs after school hours.
OEPA Reports
Wetzel County reports no noncompliances through the OEPA Reports.
Facilities Assessment
All schools are currently in compliance with all OEPA, State Fire Marshall, Board of Risk, and Insurance
providers' regulations. No need assessment items were specificically related to Facilities and so there is
no need to address them in the Technology Plan.
School Technology Teams
Each school in Wetzel County has a local school Technology Committee and this committee determines
expenditure of local Technology funds according to the needs that they determine to be highest priority.
