K. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES

K-1. Receive Report on the 2012-2014 CSISD Long Range Technology Plan

Superintendent Eddie Coulson recognized Director of Technology Chris Speier who reported to the board related to the Long Range Technology Plan. Districts are required to maintain a current LRTP in order to qualify for federal funding under NCLB Title II, Part D, E-Rate as well as many other state and federal funding opportunities. The current approved plan covers July 2012-July 2015, a three year period.

The plan was developed by a group of varied CSISD employees from district leadership to classroom teachers and met several times through the year face to face as well as collaborated on the plan virtually.

There are four main goals for the LRTP and they are: Provide ALL students with technology skills needed to be successful in learning, life and the workplace; Ensure that all Teachers, Administrators and Staff are proficient and effective in the use of technology; Develop a sound technology infrastructure to support teaching, learning, assessment and safety; and Use technology to strengthen the relationship between College Station ISD and the community and increase parental involvement. Recurring themes through the plan include:

· Online learning, collaboration and professional development

· BYOD (Bring your own device)

· Focusing what technology funding we do receive on connectivity/infrastructure rather than the devices

LRTP has a focused effort on using technology to increase our reach and build up our relationship with the community. Great strides have been made with:

· New and improved website

· High social media presence

· Use of online communication as our primary conduit for news and information
