HARRISON County Technology Plan 2004-2007 OPTIMAL Online Planning - Technology Integration Measures for Achievement and Learning Last revised on February 11, 2005 Page 1 of 40 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: The mission of the Harrison County Schools is to provide safe, nurturing and positive learning envrionments in a modern, child-centered school system from which all students will graduate academically, emotionally, physically and socially prepared to adapt and contribute to a diverse techonolgical society. Page 6 of 40 Needs Assessment Analysis of Assessment Data Harrison County had five middle schools and two elementary schools that failed to make AYP during the 2003-2004 school year. All seven of these schools showed deficiencies with the Special Education groups. This plan will address further implementation of state sponsored initiatives, such as Basic Skills, SUCCESS, and Telecommunications, to provide enhanced learning tools for these groups. Analysis of UCIP Harrison County Schools is currently in the process of developing a five year strategic plan; however, current needs addressed in the previous Analysis of UCIP are still applicable. The following items were identified in the 2002-2003 UCIP as specific technology needs. It is still our intent to address each of these issues as comprehensively as possible. •Enhance the environmental technologies curriculum for all Harrison County Schools. •Expand college courses offered to high school students. •Use technology to encourage students to acquire the knowledge necessary to be a responsible citizen. •Provide and maintain a uniformity of application software for all students and staff. •Continue to provide professional development in the area of technology for all employees. •Ensure that staff and students will use technology in an ethical manner. •Provide alternative ways of offering courses through the use of technology. •Disseminate informational literature designed to enhance career awareness, workplace learning skills and vocational/technical education. •Upgrade and replace computer technology in special education and therapy programs. •Provide adequate technologies, networks, electronic resources and support to meet the education system's learning goals. •Maintain, update, and replace technology equipment and infrastructure as necessary. •Accommodate all learners regarding technology education. •Improve communication between all buildings. •Implement and maintain a data, video, and voice communications network that would connect all facilities. •Improve communication among all stakeholders in the educational community. •Evaluate changes in technology. •Sponsor periodic informational gatherings for all stakeholders of technology education. •Participate in all technology related state initiatives. •Provide equal opportunity in education technology among schools, classrooms, students, and teachers. Technology Infrastructure Harrison County Schools has been on a five year plan to upgrade the network infrastructures within all buildings to a totally switched environment with either a 100mgb or 1000mgb backbone. We are also pursuing an aggressive program to consolidate servers to a recently established Network Operations Center and to develop a high speed, converged, Wide Area Network. Thus far, we have consolidated servers from 10 schools including the HCBOE, with 15 locations still to be relocated . This year will also see an active replacement initiative for the workstations that are running Windows 95. This replacement number is approximately 526 workstations throughout the county. According to the Digital Divide survey of 2003-2004, Harrison County Schools fell below the state average of 4.8:1 with an average of 4.1:1. This replacement cycle will address this need. Page 7 of 40 OEPA Reports 2002-2003 was the last date of an OEPA audit. All technology deficiencies that were noted at that time have been addressed. Facilities Assessment •As the Harrison County WAN is being developed, the need to rewire buildings and replace network switches continues. This has been completed in 11 schools. two schools are in the process of this upgrade at this time, with an additional three schools scheduled to be completed during the 04-05 school year. This leave 9 buildings to be updated within the next 2-3 years. •Security is being addressed with electronic locking door systems that are network managed at a central location. All middle and high schools have operational security cameras in place. •IP phone systems have been installed in three Bridgeport schools, Lumberport Middle, Salem Middle, Big Elm Elementary, Nutter Fort Primary, Nutter Fort Intermediate, and Washington Irving. •Middle and High Schools are being outfitted for the wireless security as a part of Project S.A.F.E.
