Action Plan

The overall action plan is for the district to become technologically literate according to the Technology Applications TEKS and standards.

After reviewing and analysing the CIP, DIP and Technology Applications TEKS and standards, our district needs to include additional goals and objectives that pertain more geared toward technology use and its components. Such goals and objectives might include:

Goal: The district will continue to provide more technology tools and resources available for staff and students.

Such goals and objectives are the beginning of fulfilling the district's "vision" of being technologically literate. With a well defined vision, a clearly drawn plan an quality professional development to successfully educate the district and staff, such goals and objectives can be developed and met. With hard work, continuous evaluation at all levels and resources and tools that need to be provided for staff and students to learn, the district could become 21st century technology rich.
