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
The number one priority is a need to improve student performance in all basic skills areas in order to
meet the NCLB requirements through improved test scores. All our Title I schools achieved AYP,
however, our county did not meet the goal in one subgroup. Our second need is sustained staff
development.
Analysis of UCIP
Surveys and our county staff development committee determined a need for individual staff
development pertinent to particular subjects. Standards Based Mathematics and researched reading
strategies will shape our technological instruction and curriculum. In addition, our county will continue
our efforts towards refining,increasing,and improving our technology intgegration in all subjects.
Technology Infrastructure
The Digital Divide Survey indicated that each of our schools have at least one computer lab, with
Franklin Elementary and Pendleton County Middle/High School having multiple labs. Our classrooms
have at least one to three computers. The survey shows a glaring need to upgrade our existing
computers. Our long-term goal is to place three computers in every elementry classroom with Compass
Tomorrow's Program and Accelerated Reader. Our short-term goal, is to upgrade our stations at all
schools on a yearly rotational basis.
We have an overall student to instructional computer ratio of almost 3 to 1, however, the Digital Divide
Survey cleary indicates that 40% of those computers are Windows 95. Franklin Elementary, in
particular, has over 78% Windows 95 machines. North Fork Elementary has 65% Windows 95
machines. There is a clear need to upgrade and replace computers in all schools, however. The fact
that we do not qualify as a "needy" school system for Ed-Tech funding complicates the situation. We will
explore other sources of funding, including grants, legislative funding and local funding.
Server upgrades are also a need. As the state and county migrate to Odyssey software, new servers
will be needed.
A recently received computer replacement grant from the West Virginia Department of Education will
allow us to upgrade computer labs at all schools.
The West Virginia Achieves AYP report indicated a need to provide tutorial and advanced curricular
software for the middle/high school to improve student achievement. Surveys indicated the need for
staff development to integrate technology into the curriculum for all subject matter. Our goal is to offer
staff development through such avenues as classroom modeling, visits to schools with outstanding
technological programs, and consultant directed workshops.
School Satisfaction Survey
The framework for high performing schools includes student/parent support as an important pillar. An
indicator from our school's satisfaction surveys focused on improved school/parent communication
which has resulted in setting goals to create open lines of communication among all involved parties.
Our county/school web pages offer parents and community a wide array of information. Increased
Page 6 of 30
parental involvement in our schools will be a goal adopted by all schools and administrators. Prinicpals
will be offered training and encouragement to implement a paperless system of communication within
the school environment whenever possible.
OEPA Reports
OEPA audits conducted in November, 2003 at two of our elemntary schools indicated the need for a
greater variety of instructional strategies. This need will be addressed through increased staff
development. Technology mentors will offer opportunities for teachers to integrate technology with
classroom instruction. OPEA recommended additional personnel for one computer lab, however, due to
financial restraints we are unable to employ additional staff. Instead, we will concentrate on changing
the schedule to facilitate greater utilization of the lab.
Facilities Assessment
T1 lines have been installed and will be maintained in all schools. Working with Phyllis Justice and
Verizon, routers have been upgraded to support network access and quality of service of our video over
IP applications.
An additional ATM/T1 line is utilized at Pendleton County Middle/High School to provide coursework
through Eastern WV Community and Technical College and Marshall University June Harless Center.
At Franklin Elementary Schools, a 1950's era structure, swithches, network drops and network
infrastructure have been upgraded through an SBA grant.
Brandywine Elementary will not be updated at the present time as an application for SBA funding to
build a new school has been submitted.
