Funding the 2015-2020 Technology Plan

In 2013-2014 the district conducted a Strategic Planning Process.  The outcome of this work was the creation of a 5 year Strategic Plan.  One element of the plan is Technology.  We created four goals (See attachments for more details):

Goal #1:  (Access) To provide equitable, appropriate access to technology for all staff and students. 

Goal #2:  (Environment) To enable and promote a culture of collaboration and technology use that enhances learning for all Mount Pleasant Community School District staff and students.

Goal #3:  (Classroom)  To integrate 21st Century Learning practices into all levels of Mount Pleasant Community School District.

Goal #4:  (Skills)  To provide continuous opportunities for professional development in the use of technology for staff and encouragement and support of classroom technology integration to support 21st Century Learning.

Our recommendation is to fund our technology program by using the voted Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL).  Attached is the 5 year budget detailing our plan.
