Summary of current technology needs on our campus:
The campus is well equipped with computers and fast connections. One need that we do have is to provide funding
for paid technology staff on our campus. Currently the ITRC and the Technology Committee deal with any
technical problems that arise before consulting with HelpDesk personnel. One more need concerns the area of
training and implementation of advanced technology use strategies for our staff. A final important need is to supply
more color printers throughout the campus.

Ratings are based on the following scale.
1=Early Tech
2=Developing Tech
3=Advanced Tech
4=Target Tech
The campus self-evaluation showed that our lowest ratings were in the area of educator preparation and
development, where the ratings were all 1 or 2. The highest rated area was infrastructure for technology, with
ratings of 2,3, and 4.

Staff Development Needs
The faculty is in need of nine or more hours of technology professional development for the upcoming school year.
These hours of staff development should focus on students’ use of technology to communicate and present
information, such as MS Word, Powerpoint, and graphs.
Future Vision and Direction
In three years, Reilly student and faculty use of technology will be more effective and consistent. Student products
will be presented to parents and the community during the school year.
