If support for technology is to increase and continue, we must make our government leaders, our community, and even our school personnel aware of the benefits and possibilities that exist because of technology. The Media and Technology Department and the Information Systems Department report periodically at Board of Education meetings. A district Technology Planning Committee, composed of representatives from across the school district as well as parent and business representatives, has existed since 1994 when the first technology plan was created. Other reporting mechanisms are the local AMTR, including the inventory, budget, and staff development sections. Randolph County Schools had a Learn NC trainer in each school during the 1999-2000 school year.
Plans are underway to fill the trainer vacancies.
Four Year Plan 1. Have a Learn NC trainer in every school and increase the number of registered users in the district. Add a representative from Randolph Community College to the Technology Planning Committee.
