Instructional Technology Plan Survey
 Superintendent is to provide access to the instructional
technology survey via the SED business portal.
 Survey questions are to be answered in the business portal.
 “The approved instructional technology plan survey is not
intended to negate the need for districts to compile a
comprehensive technology plan.”
 Survey is saved as a PDF and submitted to Nassau BOCES for
review.
 Once review process is completed the approved final plan is
submitted to SED by the superintendent via business portal.

Instructional Technology Plan
Guidance
“We suggest for the initial submission that you copy and paste the
narrative information, as appropriate, from the district’s existing
technology plan. The district’s completion of the electronic tool
should represent the information in the latest district-approved
comprehensive technology plan.”
“If you would like to submit additional supporting documentation,
go to the appendices section and upload the documents.
Submitting additional documentation does NOT substitute for
completing all required fields.” – so… no “see attached”

Instructional Technology Plan
Guidance
“Districts must receive “written confirmation” from the RIC certified
reviewer prior to submission on the plan to SED.”
“Districts will need to contact their RIC certified reviewer to unsubmit the plan if the districts needs to make any changes after
hitting the “submit” button.”
“Districts are strongly encouraged to post their final, RIC approved
plan on their website.”
