MISSION STATEMENT
 

 
 

The purpose of this Implementation Plan is to describe the role and use of technology in achieving the District educational goals established for students as outlined in the District Strategic Plan (a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix A), as well as the District technological goals. Students are to become:
 

1.  Continuous Learners - will demonstrate steady growth on standardized tests as compared to other students in schools across the state, nation and BOCES, teacher assessments, alternative assessments and/or the achievement of personal and vocational goals;
 
2.  Problem Solvers - will use their experiences, knowledge and skills to solve real life problems in a variety of situations;
 
3.  Cooperative Individuals - will be able to work effectively with others of diverse backgrounds in a variety of learning/working situations to achieve common goals; and
 
4.  Effective Communicators - will express their knowledge, ideas, needs, feelings and creativity through listening, speaking, writing, reading, technology, and the arts.
 
 
 

 
 
We believe that using computers and technology
to assist in meeting these goals
will create adults who will be
productive members of their community, their workplace,
and of society in the 21st century.

TECHNOLOGY HISTORY
 

 

 

“In the beginning...” moneys from numerous outside sources and the district were used to purchase on an as-needed-basis various brands, models and types of computers, software and peripherals. As the years progressed, so did our acquisition of equipment. Following is a brief description of how we came to have and use our current equipment:
 
During the 1980’s:
 
 Throughout this time, computers, printers and various software titles were purchased.
 
 The first District Computer Committee was formally organized in 1984 under the direction of Superintendent Helena Squicciarini. Its members included: Dalton Group: Vaughn Estep, Marie Scarrot, Kate Alonzo, Sally Hall, Laurie Shutt and Judy Glaser Nunda Group: Gary Ayers, Marcia Ayers, Ron Biondolillo, Karen Carregin, Anne Cook, Tom Cook, Linda Davis, Dick DeMay, Frank Estep, Howard Jacobs, Jack Morgan, Elin Raimondi, Kathy Shultz and George Wildrick. These Committees dealt with such issues as placement of computers, hardware and software acquisition, and teacher training. Reacting to changing technology and obvious needs, the Computer Committee would make recommendations to the Administration.
 
 In the Dalton Building, these computers were utilized as stand alone workstations. In 1989 an Apple IIgs computer lab was established and formalized instruction in keyboarding for third graders began.
 
 In the Nunda Building, these computers were utilized to design a Business/Keyboarding Lab and an Apple IIe & IIgs Computer Lab. This Apple Lab was originally housed in the library, but was later moved to its own location with a full-time aide.
 
 
1993-1994 School Year:
 
 Formalized future planning began to take place under Superintendents Barry Schoenholz and Bren Price. The first District Technology Plan was developed (a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix B).
 
 Under this plan the Dalton building would change from an Apple/MAC platform to the DOS/IBM platform. In the Nunda building, the Business Lab should be updated to house more current technology. Twenty (20) Hewlett Packard-IBM clone machines were received through a grant and networked together in order to share 4 printers (hereinafter referred to as the “Business Lab”).
 
 ADMINISTRATIVE LAN:
 In Nunda an Administrative server and host were purchased with seven (7) workstations networked to it, with six (6) printers.
 
 In Dalton two(2) workstations with two(2) printers could remotely dial-in to this Administrative LAN over a 14.4 modem.
 
 
1994-1995 School Year:
 
 During the school year two additional LANs were established in the District. These Instructional LANs were established under the Library Automation CoSer through Wayne-Finger Lakes Genesee Valley BOCES and installed in each building (detailed in Appendix C).
 
 INSTRUCTIONAL LAN:
 In Dalton an instructional server was purchased with fourteen (14) Hewlett Packard-IBM clone workstations networked, sharing three (3) printers. Eight workstations were housed in the Computer Lab, five workstations were housed in the Library and the remaining workstation was used as the circulation desk for the Library.
 
 In Nunda an instructional server was purchased with fourteen (14) Hewlett Packard-IBM clone workstations networked, sharing three (3) printers. Eight workstations were housed in the Apple Computer Lab, five workstations were housed in the Library and the remaining workstation was used as the circulation desk for the Library.
 
 During this same time various computers were purchased by the District for specific uses, including:
 
 In Nunda:
    u   An IBM PS/1 was purchased by the Computer Committee.
    u   A computer from the Business Lab was donated to an Earth Science class. A modem and software were purchased to enable the teacher to have access to current weather satellite information.
    u   The BETA project was begun with the purchase of two PowerMac computers and various software packages and peripherals.
(see Appendix D for details)
    u   For the development of our yearbook, a computer, software and printer were given to the school by the vendor.
 
 In the spring of 1995 the Nunda Computer Committee made recommendations to Superintendent Price with regard to a “High School Computer Plan” (a copy of those recommendations are attached hereto as Appendix E), with the number one recommendation being that the Computer Committee carry out Phase II of the 1993-1994 District Technology Plan.
 
 ADMINISTRATIVE LAN:
 Three (3) additional workstations and printers were purchased for connection to the LAN for the Superintendent, his Secretary and the Elementary Principal.
 
 
1995-1996 School Year:
 
 With the increase in the amount of equipment the District was purchasing, and in an effort to insure the staff’s understanding and use of this equipment, the part-time position of District Computer Trainer was established. To establish a “starting point” for staff training a Computer Knowledge Survey was distributed to each building staff. (a copy of the survey and its results are attached hereto as Appendix F).
 
 INSTRUCTIONAL LAN:
 In Dalton, the server underwent a hard drive expansion and twenty-two (22) more workstations were networked, with twelve being housed in the Computer Lab, two being placed in the training area (Mr. Warren’s Room) and one in each of the fifth and sixth grade classrooms. The Apple computers previously housed in the Lab were reallocated to various classrooms.
 
 In Nunda, the server underwent a hard drive expansion and twenty-two (22) more workstations were networked for placement in the Computer Lab (hereinafter referred to as the “IBM Lab”) and the Business Lab was connected to increase the size of the Local Area Network (LAN). The Apple computers previously housed in the Lab were reallocated to various classrooms.
 
 Additionally, a district license was purchased for WinGuard v2.3 and a LAN license for GIS v17 for Nunda.
 
 Specific recommendations for upgrades to the current systems were also submitted and Board approved (a copy of those upgrade recommendations are attached hereto as Appendix G).
 
 ADMINISTRATIVE LAN:
 The server underwent a RAM upgrade and two additional workstations were added for the Business Manager and the Account Clerk.
 
 
 Additionally, a 2-user license for MSOffice Pro v4.3 was purchased for the Business Manager and the Account Clerk.
 
 
1996-1997 School Year:
 
 During the school year the Computer Trainer position was upgraded to the full-time district position of Coordinator of Computer Services and the position of Computer Lab Trainer/Technician was also created and filled. The Technology Committee was then bestowed with the task of developing a comprehensive Technology Implementation Plan for all future technology purchases. Information for this plan was gathered in a variety of ways, including surveys which were distributed in an effort to obtain input as to the direction this plan should take, as well as information as to the current uses of technology within the classrooms. (A copy of those use surveys are attached hereto as Appendix H)
 
 INSTRUCTIONAL LAN:
 In Dalton, five (5) additional workstations were purchased and placed in the Computer Lab; MSWorks v3.0 was selected as the software standard with the purchase of a 40-user license; various machines were upgraded; access to the Internet was made available to all teachers through WYCOL on a single upgraded PC; and a data projector was purchased and installed in the Computer Lab. (An inventory and mapping of all then existing hardware is attached hereto as Appendix I)
 
 In Nunda, one (1) workstation was added to the network (replacement for a workstation given to the Administrative network for the Director of Food Services); the Novell and ICLAS licenses were increased to 100-users; various machines were upgraded; MSWorks v3.0 53-user license for the LAN; MSOffice Pro v4.3 26- user license for the Computer Lab; a single classroom connection to the LAN was established (Rm 213) and access to the internet was made available to all teachers through WYCOL on a single upgraded PC. (An inventory and mapping of all then existing hardware is attached hereto as Appendix I)
 
 Additionally, anti-virus protection was initiated with InnocuLAN v4.0 server and InnocuLAN v4.1 workstation.
 
 ADMINISTRATIVE LAN:
 The server was replaced and the LAN was increased by three (3) workstations (Director of Food Services, Payroll Clerk and Secretary to CSE Chairman) and three (3) printer. A cross connection to the Instructional LAN was also made.
 
 Additionally, all accounting procedures were begun in-house with the purchase of CP-Accounts Payable, Budget and Fixed Assets modules; anti-virus protection was initiated with InnocuLAN v4.0 server and InnocuLAN v4.1 workstation; and the MSOffice Pro license was increased to 4-users.
 
1997-1998 School Year:
 
 This was a very exciting year in the District for instructional technology. During this year the District initiated a WFL-GV BOCES pilot with the installation of the Compaq/Dynacom Multimedia Distribution System. A headend room with all source equipment and a twelve (12) classroom Fiber WindowsNT connection was purchased, wired and installed in both Dalton and Nunda. (An inventory and mapping of all pilot hardware is attached hereto as Appendix J)
 
 INSTRUCTIONAL LAN:
 In Dalton, a flatbed scanner and color printer was purchased and installed in the Library. Internet access continued at the single access point.
 
 In Nunda, in an effort to increase the capacity of the Business Lab, all computers underwent a RAM upgrade. Additionally, a digital camera and a flatbed scanner were also purchased and installed in the IBM Lab. The LAKENet connection was made and internet access was made available from all workstations on the Instructional LAN. We also saw an upgrade to GIS v3.0 for Windows for the LAN.
 
 Additionally, “The Chronicle” (the District newsletter) was written by all district departments, produced by BETA and printed via DocuShare.
 
 ADMINISTRATIVE LAN:
 The LAN was increased by three (3) workstations for the Superintendent, Business Manager and Director of Transportation; the Athletic Director inherited a workstation; and all existing LAN workstations were upgraded with additional RAM, WIN95 and MSOffice Pro v.4.3 licensing. The LAKENet connection was made and internet access was made available from all workstations on the Instructional LAN.
 
 Additionally, the CP-Payroll Module was implemented, as well as the NutriKids Analysis program for our Food Services Department.
 
 
1998-1999 School Year:
 
 With the previous years multimedia pilot installation, the majority of the 1998-1999 school year was devoted to training, staff development and “debugging” of the system. Additionally, the district began planning a $27million capital project. Technology upgrades will be a large part of this project. (a complete copy of the Technology Educational Plan for this capital project is attached hereto as Appendix K)
 
 
1999-2000 School Year:
 
 This year saw the beginning of our construction and capital project implementation. Due to the vast amount of physical construction needed, technology implementation outside of the project was temporarily halted.
 
 
2000-2001 School Year:
 
 This year saw the continuation of the physical construction and implementation of the technology plan. All funded aspects of Division 17 of the capital project were installed, tested and full use began on a case-by-case basis.
 
 INSTRUCTIONAL LAN:
 In Dalton, multimedia access points were furnished in all instructional areas, the computer lab was also fully equipped and all headend equipment was installed. (complete As-Builts as attached hereto as Appendix L)
 
 In Nunda multimedia access points were furnished in all instructional areas, the middle school computer lab was also fully equipped and all headend equipment was installed. (complete As-Builts as attached hereto as Appendix L)
 
 ADMINISTRATIVE LAN:
 The business office upgraded to Finance Manager 2000 and all required workstation upgrades took place as well.
 
 
2001-2002 School Year:
 
 INSTRUCTIONAL LAN: :
With the technology construction phase of the capital project finally completed, the majority of this school year was spent on staff development.
 
Topics Included:
*  Communication Via Email
*  New Phone System with Voice Mail Capabilities
*  Multimedia Functionality
*  Network Utilization (home directories & common folders)
*  Teaching With Server Applications
 
 ADMINISTRATIVE LAN:
This school year saw the migration from Schoolmaster for DOS to Schoolmaster for windows. Various hardware purchases took place in order to accomplish this, including the purchase of a new NT 4.0 Server.
 
We also put into operation various DocuCenters. These fast-speed copier/scanner/faxing devices were networked to with office personnel users, while others were “walk-up” machines.
 
 
2002-2003 School Year:
 
With budget constraints being extremely tight this year, there was very little available for new technology purchases. This year we did see however, a change at our Dalton cafeteria facility with the installation of the Horizon Fastlane Point of Sale System.
 
This was also the first full-year of our website presence. Our website consists of pages for District Information, Dalton Elementary Information, Middle School Information and High School Information. (a copy of the Web Site Board Policy is attached hereto as Appendix M).
 
 INSTRUCTIONAL LAN:
The only additional hardware purchases for this school year were various printing scenarios.
 
 ADMINISTRATIVE LAN:
The only additional hardware purchases for this school year were the replacement of office personnel workstations.
 
 
 
2004 - 2008 School Year Outlooks:
 
These will also be exciting years for District technology. The main focus will be taking a look at how well our capital project was completed, whether or not it has fulfilled our instructional needs.
 
*  Capital Project Review & Development of a Maintenance Plan;
 
*  Increase information available on the district’s web site;
 
*  With all students and teachers working toward mastery of our new computer network, grade level and/or departmental technology rubrics need to be created for administrators, teachers, staff and students.

SECURITY
 

 

The security of all our systems must be the top priority and maintained at all times. Since time and funds are limited it is critical to determine what the security risks are, develop preventive measures and examine potential costs of a violation. All three areas of security will be governed by the District’s Acceptable Use Policy (a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix N). Technology security issues can be broken down into four categories:
 

 1.  Physical Security;
 2.  Network Security;
 3.  Data Security; and
 4.  Internet Security
 
 
Physical Security

This area deals with keeping our hardware safe from vandalism and theft. Most problems in this area are the same as those of any valuable, portable equipment owned by the District.
 MEANS: Careful inventory and control procedures for the equipment are essential.
 
Network Security
This area deals with keeping our network scheme safe, accurate and virus free. It must be understood by all users of our system that the use of our system is a privilege and not a right. The safety of our networks greatly depends on the integrity of its users and those who disregard others safety will be dealt with.
 MEANS:  InnocuLan Anti-Virus is the standard and strict adherence to the Acceptable Use Policy will be enforced.
 
Data Security
This area deals with keeping software and user files secure from unauthorized access and modification. When students are using any workstations with access to confidential information (such as grades, evaluations, test or the Internet), it is imperative that they do so under supervised and monitored conditions.
 MEANS:  An accurate backup system must be maintained in the event of a security breach.
 

Internet Security

This area deals with the security of our internet access. Information exchanges with unknown entities is prohibited and access to site with little or no educational value are screened.
 MEANS:  All stations with a connection to the Internet via LakeNet will be routed through the Bess Proxy Server for filtering.

SOFTWARE & HARDWARE PROJECTIONS
 
 
Each year the various Technology Teams will solicit requests for software and hardware. These requests will be reviewed and prioritized based on the previously established criteria indicated below.
 

The final recommendations for hardware, software purchasing and ongoing maintenance will follow the five-year cycle also indicated.
 
 
 

SOFTWARE PURCHASE PLAN
(Amount Determined By State Aid Figures
or $20 Per Student, Which Ever Is Greater)
 
Each year the software funds available would be divided between the 3 buildings, Elementary, Middle School & High School, based on building student population. (Example: Year 2004-2005 Elementary Student Population of 420 would equal $8,400)
 

 

First priority for the expenditure of these funds will be any district wide software needs. Any balance thereafter would be allocated as follows:
 

 
The respective Building Technology Committees would accept software title requests from faculty and make purchase recommendations to the District Technology Committee.
 
 
Should there be a balance of software funds available in any one building, requests would then be accepted from any other district personnel and the Building Committees would then made further recommendations to the District Technology Committee.

ELEMENTARY ACTION PLANS
 

Goal No. 1:
 Now that our capital project has been completed, we need to provide all students and staff members’ maximum access to the network by the purchase of additional hardware.
 

Hardware Strategies
 The Dalton Technology Team will develop a prioritized plan for the purchase and maintenance of all technology hardware within the building.
 
Staff Development Strategies
 Staff development should continue until such time as the entire faculty and staff have mastered basic technology understandings and skills as measures on a “Basic Competency Evaluation”.
 
Budget
 To be funded by local hardware and BOCES funds.
 
 
 

Goal No. 2:
 To assist in preparing our students for further educational experiences and real life situations, a more defined technology curriculum should be developed.
 

Hardware Strategies
 All current technology equipment, and any additional purchases, will be aligned with this curriculum. These purchases will follow the prioritized table outlined earlier.
 
Software Strategies
 a.  Any applicable titles for the peripherals purchased.
 b.  More reference material, of various content areas, grade levels and media types should be made available for all to use.
 c.  More content area related software packages to supplement and reinforce classroom curriculum should be made available.
 
Staff Development Strategies
 a.  A system of staff development needs to be built. Additionally, opportunities to see what other districts and facilities are doing should be made available. (see Appendix O)
 
Budget
 To be funded by local district and BOCES funds
 
 
 
 
 
 

Goal No. 3:
 To know whether or not our elementary students are leaving with the necessary computer skills for middle school, an assessment tool will need to be created.
 

Hardware Strategies
 All current technology equipment, and any additional purchases, will be aligned with the elementary computer curriculum. All equipment will be made accessible to all our students.
 
Software Strategies
 a.  Research any tools that may already exist and test their applicability.
 b.  Purchase any valid titles.
 
Staff Development Strategies
Staff development strategies will be put into place once a curriculum and assessment tool have been decided upon.
 
Budget
 To be funded by local district and BOCES funds

In addition to these specific offerings, there are numerous instances in which technology is already being used in the classrooms. Some examples include:
 

*  In the Learning Centers and Resource Rooms, student practice their math, spelling and science skills. A teacher notes that students “greatly prefer computer review to any other type of review”.
 
*  An interdisciplinary writing assignment was initiated between an English 7 and Social Studies 7 teachers. This assignment was produced on a word processor, with a picturesque cover page designed by the students.
 

*  A 7th Grade English teacher added the use of Powerpoint presentation software to her existing oral report requirement.
 
*  An 8th grade Social Studies teacher incorporates technology in a variety of ways. In addition to drill and practice, remediation and review, word processing and databases, computers are used to collect, analyze and present data in new ways. For example, students create and analyze graphs dealing with the Civil War and classroom presentations are enhanced through the use of laser discs and hyperstudio programs.
 

*  Some ninth grade global studies classes receive their homework assignments from their teacher via the computer network and each is responsible to complete the assignment on a word processor.
 

*  Tenth grade Biology students are beginning to use computers in laboratory write-ups and the construction of charts and graphs associated with lab activities.
 
*  A senior English class completes forms (designed by their teacher and distributed to them via the network) for all their book, film and periodical reviews.

CURRICULAR GOALS: GRADES 6 - 12
 

 

In the Keshequa Middle & High School the strategy is to directly integrate technology skills into the core curricular areas. We believe this approach will assist our students in making the real world connection of the importance of technological skills.
 
Students will be able to successfully use technology as a tool to:
*  Access information from a variety of sources
*  Evaluate information
*  Manipulate and synthesize information
*  Communicate and implement this “knowledge” through a variety of media
 
 
 
Following are the exit outcome goals desired in a graduate from Keshequa Central:
 
GOAL NO. 1:
The student will have the knowledge and skills to be able to use technology as a tool for both personal and professional pursuits.
 
 
GOAL NO. 2:
Students will have the technical knowledge and skills that empower them to solve problems, complete a task and/or create a product within a required time frame.
 
 
GOAL NO. 3
Students will demonstrate their capability to access information, collect data and communicate electronically.
 
 
GOAL NO. 4:
Students will demonstrate their understanding of the relationship between academic subjects and a variety of technological media.
 
 
Having achieved a certain mastery level by the Elementary School, students are expected to continue their technological progression in the Middle and. High Schools. Following are some recommended benchmarks. Specific curriculum integration will be developed on a departmental level and will be added to and become a part of this Plan.

MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL ACTION PLANS
 

Goal No. 1:
 
 Now that our capital project has been completed, we need to provide all students and staff members’ maximum access to the network by the purchase of additional hardware.
 

Hardware Strategies
 The Dalton Technology Team will develop a prioritized plan for the purchase and maintenance of all technology hardware within the building.
 
Staff Development Strategies
 Staff development should continue until such time as the entire faculty and staff have mastered basic technology understandings and skills as measures on a “Basic Competency Evaluation”.
 
Budget
 To be funded by local hardware and BOCES funds.
 
 

Goal No. 2:
 To assist in preparing our students for further educational experiences and real life situations, a more defined technology curriculum should be developed.
 

Hardware Strategies
 All current technology equipment, and any additional purchases, will be aligned with this curriculum. These purchases will follow the prioritized table outlined earlier.
 
Software Strategies
 a.  Any applicable titles for the peripherals purchased.
 b.  More reference material, of various content areas, grade levels and media types should be made available for all to use.
 c.  More content area related software packages to supplement and reinforce classroom curriculum should be made available.
 
Staff Development Strategies
 a.  A system of staff development needs to be built. Additionally, opportunities to see what other districts and facilities are doing should be made available. (see Appendix O)
 
Budget
 To be funded by local district and BOCES funds
 
 
 
 

Goal No. 3
 To assist in providing access to information on demand, provide more individualized student-centered opportunities and prepare students for real life work situations, our facilities need to be equipped with more up-to-date technology.
 

Hardware Strategies
 a.  Mobile Multimedia Cart: complete with workstation, TV monitor, projection devise, scanner, digital camera & color printer for use in any area of the building.
 b.  Peripherals such as a laptop computer or “mini computer” (eg. Dreamwriter) should be housed and made available to students and staff.
 
Software Strategies
 a.  Any applicable titles for the peripherals purchased.
 b.  More reference material, of various content areas, grade levels and media types should be made available for all to use.
 c.  More content area related software packages for classroom supplementation and reinforcement should be made available in the lab.

PLAN EVALUATION PROCESS
 

 

A yearly review of the Action Plans will take place mid-year of each plan year by the each Technology Team to determine whether or not revisions and/or alterations of the goals, strategies and action plans should take place.
 

 

Additionally, subsequent phases will be determined by ongoing curriculum development
and what is decided to be the relevant hardware, software, application
and staff development needs.
 

 
During each of these phases, the following criteria will be used to determine our needs:
 
u Does the plan align with district curricular goals?
 
u Is the plan cost-effective?
 
u Does the plan require a further review of current technology systems?
 
u Is the plan grade/age/user level appropriate?
 
u    Are there any other district plans that supersede this plan?
