Executive Summary
Springtown ISD is a rural district about 30 miles NW of Fort Worth.
Technology in Springtown ISD has evolved through the years. It is no longer a luxury, but rather a necessary tool.
Communications with parents and staff, grades, attendance, ARDs, purchasing, and payroll are all done using technology.
We are using and modeling technology for our teachers and students. Computers have moved from the novelty to the accept
and required.
The biggest obstacle that we face is declining dollars. Local, State and Federal monies are becoming tighter causing our budgets to shrink. Meanwhile the mandates continue to arise. Whether it is additional reports, online testing, or fighting new forms of hackers and spammers.
Data/information was gathered from a wide variety of sources to complete this plan including: Survey of administrators District meetings Surveys of teachers Survey of students ESC XI Other districts plans Other districts experiences Vendors District Improvement Plan Literature
Other
We as a district will continue to try and improve our network, our services (email, storage, etc), add new computers as needed,
and fight viruses, hackers and spammers.

Evaluation
Evaluation Process:
Evaluation Process: The technology plan will be evaluated and updated each year or as needed by the Technology Committee.
Surveys of staff will determine types of technology training needed for the upcoming year and effectiveness of previous training.
Technology Director meets regular with campus principals (both formally and informally) and uses knowledge obtained at
meetings to determine success/failures towards reaching various goals.
Star chart will be completed by the campus principals and analyzed by the Technology Committee to determine success in
reaching goals as stated in the Technology Plan. Training will be designed to move district technology uses higher on the chart in areas where needs are the greatest.
Updated Plan will be given to and reviewed with the Superintendent and the District Committee. If the Superintendent determines need - a copy may be forwarded to the Board for approval/information. Evaluation Method:
Evaluation Method:
Methods of evaluation will include: - the STaR Chart - completed by each campus, - surveys of staff with regards to their use of technology in the classroom,
- Use of Streaming Video, - Technology work orders received/completed, - Staff use of email
- results from UIL technology competitions - TEKS results in technology areas
- Results of student projects - Web Pages - Lack of network(LAN/WAN) downtime
