Plan Criteria and Approval for Public Schools
Technology plan approval for school districts is not only important for internal district goals setting and student achievement, but it also allows districts to qualify for both state and federal grant monies available for technology assistance. Districts with approved plans are eligible for competitive TEACH WI grants, for EdTech grants and the E-rate.
District plans are approved using a checklist developed from the Wisconsin Educational Technology Plan PK-12, Appendix O, which is a suggested table of contents for a local school district technology plan.
A district plan must address all of the items listed and must be no longer than three (3) years. If it is approved using this checklist, it will qualify your district to apply for any state or federal grant at this time. The checklist includes:
Introduction
Background
Program Goals & Initiatives In Support Of Education
Current Status/Needs Assessment
Technology Needed To Achieve Goals
Educational Technology Implementation Action Plan
Monitoring, Evaluation, And Revision of the Educational Technology Plan
Adult Technology Literacy Component
For additional information on school district technology plan approval process, visit the Instructional Media and Technology Team home page or contact Stuart J. Ciske.
A school technology plan that meets the above criteria should be sent to:

3.0 Plan Criteria
and Approval for Public Libraries
|
Note: All library system technology plans
since 2001 meet the SLD plan criteria allowing a system
plan to cover its member libraries. Therefore, individual
libraries can check Form 470, #20b and Form 471, #26b. See the memo titled Library System Technology Plans: State and E-rate Requirements for details of this process.
Because system plans now cover their member libraries' E-rate applications, the division no longer certifies individual library technology plans. (updated 4-02) |
