The Radnor Township School District Technology Planning Process
Technology Plan
July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2007

Introduction
In accordance with the technology planning guidelines as outlined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, each school district and intermediate unit must prepare and file a three-year technology plan with the PA Department of Education Office of Technology.  The PA Department of Education has each school district on a specific timeline for its technology plan submission. The Radnor Township School District Technology Plan was due into the PA Department of Education by June 1, 2004.

The state asks that each school district and intermediate unit use a planning process that is inclusive of all stakeholders within the district, including but not limited to school board members, administrators, teachers, parents, students and community members.  

The Radnor Township School District Technology Planning Committee was comprised of these stakeholder groups. The planning committee met several times over a three-month period to study the districts needs with regard to the planning areas outlined by the state planning process. These planning areas include instruction, communication and information access, administration and management, and infrastructure. Further requirements are the development of a technology vision statement, clear and concise goals, objectives that tie to each individual goal and activities that tie to each individual objective.

The technology plan covers a three-year period from July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2007.   The state requires the approval of the district’s technology plan by the local board of school directors prior to the PA Department of Education plan approval. These approvals are important and required for participation in funding programs such as E-Rate and federal programs. Realizing that technology needs and requirements are subject to change during the course of the plan timeline, approval of the technology plan is conceptual, however, districts are strongly encouraged to follow the stated plans as close as possible.
