Technology Plan: Questions to Consider
IC 20-20-13-7
Technology plan
Sec. 7. (a) Notwithstanding any other law, a school corporation
is not entitled to:
(1) receive any money under this chapter or IC 20-20-15;
(2) use money from the school corporation's capital projects
fund for educational technology equipment under IC 21-2-15-4;
or
(3) receive an advance from the common school fund for an
educational technology program under IC 21-1-5;
unless the school corporation develops a three (3) year technology
plan.
(b) Each technology plan must include at least the following
information:
(1) A description of the school corporation's intent to integrate
technology into the school corporation's curriculum.
(2) A plan for providing inservice training.
(3) A schedule for maintaining and replacing educational
technology equipment.
(4) A description of the criteria used to select the appropriate
educational technology equipment for the appropriate use.
(5) Other information requested by the department after consulting
with the budget agency.
(c) The department shall develop guidelines concerning the
development of technology plans. The guidelines developed
under this subsection are subject to the approval of the
governor.
As added by P.L.1-2005, SEC.4.
In addition, in order to be eligible to receive Title II,
Part D - Enhancing Education Through Technology funding,
the LEA must have an approved current three-year technology
plan on file. The District Technology Plan Checklist contains
the areas that must be included in the new three-year technology
plan. This plan should serve as a guiding document to support
your PL-221 goals in the district and its buildings. In order
to stay in compliance with 20-20-13-7, three-year technology
plans need to be submitted for approval to the Office of
Learning Resources every three years. Technology plans and
expenditure reports can be sent to the attention of:
Mark Broderick
Indiana Department of Education
Office of Learning Resources
Room 229, State House
Indianapolis, IN 46204
