Network Upgrade
• Since we met last we have completed 97% of our
10gig upgrade to the district’s Wide Area
Network (WAN). We also successfully moved our
Disaster Recovery connection from 153meg to
10gig.
• The WAN connections’ consists of 15 rings with
schools spread amongst them. We have 70 out of
72 links completed. Each link requires two
connectors. These connectors cost roughly
$6,000. The total for just the connectors
themselves is $864,000.
Network Upgrade
Disaster Recovery
• We currently have an agreement with Puyallup School District
to house our Disaster Recovery (DR) system in their data
center. They will house their DR system in our data center in
the near future. We recently upgraded the data speed
between the two sites. See diagram below
• Before
– Oct.-3 - 155 megabits per second
• After
– 10gig – 1024 megabits per second

The 2010-2013 Tech Plan
HOW’D WE DO?
2010-2013 Tech Plan Pilot Projects
• Ready! Set, Read! – Narrowing the Achievement Gap
• Train the Trainers – Increasing Building Level Expertise
• Do Instructional Technology / Do Media – Decrease the
Dropout Rate
• eSIS Grades Pilot
• Portfolio Pilot
2010-2013 Tech Plan Projects
• Parent Access – Real Time access will be available to parents for
attendance, discipline, grades, homework, and progress towards
graduation.
• Equity Across the District – All schools and all classrooms will be equipped
with the appropriate technology.
• Electronic Portfolios – These will be available for tracking, sharing, and
storing student work.
• Curriculum Adoption – As a standard part of every adoption process,
technology is viewed as a tool needed for curriculum delivery, not as a
separate process.
• Reliable Technology in the Classroom –When a problem is encountered, it
is resolved the same day. Nonfunctioning technology becomes a rarity.
• First-Call Resolution from the Help Desk – Phones will be answered by a
human, with no wait time. Technicians will use remote login to solve
problems, thus getting the client up and running right away.
2010-2013 Tech Plan Projects
• Teacher Mobility Unhindered – A teacher will be able to move from school
to school or classroom to classroom and experience the same technology.
All classroom computers and software are the same throughout the
district.
• Teacher Collaboration Enhanced – Teachers can share experiences in the
classroom without being hindered by having different versions of software
or types of computers.
• Access to Work – Employees will have access to work files from anywhere.
• Hand-held Devices – All approved technology will work seamlessly
throughout the district.
• Flexible Training and Communication – We will use TPS-TV, Podcasting,
and web 2.0 tools to make communication and training as convenient as
possible.
• Contain Costs – As the use of technology grows, we will look for
technology solutions that reduce the cost of support.

The Next Tech Plan
2013-2016
WHAT THE STATE AND THE
STANDARDS SAY ABOUT TECH
Students Who are College and Career Ready
Use technology and digital media strategically and
capably. Students employ technology thoughtfully to
enhance their reading, writing, speaking, listening, and
language use. They tailor their searches online to acquire
useful information efficiently, and they integrate what
they learn using technology with what they learn offline.
They are familiar with the strengths and limitations of
various technological tools and mediums and can select
and use those best suited to their communication goals.
-Common Core State Standards
Washington State Technology Standards
• The standards state the students should be
technologically fluent and technologically
literate
Washington State Technology Standards
• Technology Literacy is the ability to responsibly,
creatively and effectively use appropriate
technology to:
– Communicate.
– Access, collect, manage, integrate and evaluate
information.
– Solve problems and create solutions
– Build and share knowledge.
– Improve and enhance learning in all subject areas and
experiences.
Washington State Technology Standards
• Technology Fluency is demonstrated when
students:
– Apply technology to real-world experiences.
– Adapt to changing technologies.
– Modify current and create new technologies.
– Personalize technology to meet personal needs,
interests and learning style.
“EdTech is Integral”
• EdTech is integral to the state’s online testing initiative,
which will expand significantly with the Smarter Balanced
Assessment Consortium (SBAC) assessments in 2014-15.
• Educational technology is no longer a standalone
component of public K–12 education—separate from
administration, teaching, learning and assessment.
• The K–12 system will find it increasingly difficult to
graduate college- and career-ready students without
significant attention paid to technology literacy. As with any
subject, the need to build knowledge and skills begins in
the elementary grades and continues into a student’s
senior year.
“EdTech is Integral”
• Establish a sustainable funding system for technology
integration across Washington State public schools.
• Develop instructional resources and assessments that
help teachers to integrate the standards for
educational technology into K–12 core subject areas.
• Expand support for technology integration: policy
development, direct technical assistance for
technology initiatives, and the necessary professional
development that trains teachers to enrich standardsbased curricula with instructional technologies.
Technology Plan
The Funding Story
Let’s Make Some Assumptions
• We Want ALL Technology to stay within State Education Standards
– 6 years old or newer
• Classrooms will meet District Ed Spec Standards.
• We have to replace Infrastructure based upon industry standards
–
–
–
–
–
Servers every 7 years
Routers and Switches every 9 years
Phone System 10 years
Classroom and Admin Printers every 8-9 Years
Wireless Access – 8 years
• Upgrade payroll, maintenance, purchasing, finance, student
systems every 3 years on the average
– Upgrade – not replace.

Fiscal Reality Check
• 3 Years Levy Funding
– Total $7M for next 3 years
• Needed $50M to bring District to Standard
and to Keep it at Standard for duration of Levy
– Approved $24M
• The Next Charts Tell the Story
Fiscal Reality Check
• No Funding for Innovation
– If $20/Student $560,000 per year
• No Funding to Upgrade Libraries and Labs
• Tech Equity only put 3 computers per classroom….
Limited due to lack of funding.
• No E-book initiative funding
– Average $3.8 Million per year over next 10 years
(Secondary Only)
• No One to One initiative funding
• High School Tech Equity 60% funded by one time
money.

Innovation
2013-2016 Tech Plan
• What should we focus on for the new Tech
Plan
• Keep in mind the current initiatives and
upcoming projects
• What does innovation mean in terms of the
Tech Plan
• Where does it fit in?
2013-2016 Tech Plan
• Grappling With the Options
• What does good use of technology look like in primary grades,
intermediate grades, middle school, and high school?
• What tools or pieces of technology are the best for each level?
• What will a student in 2016 need to be able to do and what tech will
support that?
• What will a staff member in 2016 need to be able to do and what tech
will support that?
• What will a parent in 2016 need to be able to do and what tech will
support that?
• What will the system in 2016 need to be able to do and what tech will
support that?
Teacher & Student Tech Skills
• Each Tech Plan cycle students and staff are surveyed
on their opinions and skills regarding technology
• Traditionally done with the Pilot Survey annually with
8th graders
• Speak Up Survey available through December
• Pilot Survey available in the spring
• Other surveys?

Your Task Tonight
• Based on tonight’s conversation and information what
are some items for further study to include in the Tech
Plan?
• Write the item, pilot, project, skill, etc. that should be
considered for the new plan on a sticky note
• Place that note in the appropriate category on the year
that task will be worked on or completed, if multiple
years use multiple notes
• If you are willing to be on a focus group to further
define this part of the plan add your name to the note
Report Out On 2013-2016 Tech Plan Ideas
• A major focus of the fall and early winter will
be the tech plan
– Focus groups and reviews
• Tech Plan needs to go to the board in February
or early March and needs to be to the state
before the end of the 2012-2013 school year
