TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION HISTORY
“In the beginning...” moneys from numerous outside
sources and the district were used to
purchase on an as-needed-basis various brands, mode ls and types of computers, software
and peripherals. As the years progressed, so did o
ur acquisition of equipment. Following
is a brief description of how we came to have and u
se our current equipment:
During the 1980’s
:
Throughout this time, computers, printers and vari
ous software titles were
purchased.
The first District Computer Committee was formally
organized in 1984 under the
direction of Superintendent Helena Squicciarini. T
hese 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 th
e Administration.
In the Dalton Building, these computers were utili
zed 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 utiliz
ed to design a
Business/Keyboarding Lab and an Apple IIe & IIgs Co
mputer Lab. This Apple
Lab was originally housed in the library, but was l
ater moved to its own location
with a full-time aide.
1993-1994 School Year
:
Formalized future planning began to take place und
er Superintendents Barry
Schoenholz and Bren Price and the first District Te
chnology Plan was developed
(
a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix B
).
Under this plan the Dalton building would change f
rom an Apple/MAC platform
to the DOS/IBM platform. In the Nunda building, th
e Business Lab should be
updated to house more current technology. Twenty (
20) Hewlett Packard-IBM
clone machines were received through a grant and ne
tworked together in order to
share 4 printers (hereinafter referred to as the “B
usiness Lab”).
ADMINISTRATIVE LAN:
In Nunda an Administrative server and host were pur
chased with seven (7)
workstations networked to it, with six (6) printers
.
Plan Date: 11/1/06
Page

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 es
tablished 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
.
INSTRUCTIONAL LAN:
In Dalton an instructional server was purchased wit
h fourteen (14) Hewlett
Packard-IBM clone workstations networked, sharing t
hree (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 t
hree (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 purcha
sed by the District for
specific uses, including:
In Nunda:
?
An IBM PS/1 was purchased by the Computer Committe
e.
?
A computer from the Business Lab was donated to an
Earth Science class. A
modem and software were purchased to enable the tea
cher to have access to
current weather satellite information.
?
The BETA project was begun with the purchase of tw
o PowerMac computers
and various software packages and peripherals. d
?
For the development of our yearbook, a computer, s
oftware 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 C
), with the number one
recommendation being that the Computer Committee ca
rry out Phase II of the
1993-1994 District Technology Plan.
ADMINISTRATIVE LAN:
Three (3) additional workstations and printers wer
e purchased for connection to
the LAN for the Superintendent, his Secretary and t
he Elementary Principal.

blished.
To establish a “starting point” for staff training
a Computer Knowledge Survey
was distributed to each building staff.
INSTRUCTIONAL LAN:
In Dalton, the server underwent a hard drive expans
ion and twenty-two (22) more
workstations were networked, with twelve being hous
ed 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 comput
ers previously housed in the
Lab were reallocated to various classrooms.
In Nunda, the server underwent a hard drive expansi
on and twenty-two (22) more
workstations were networked for placement in the Co
mputer 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 co
mputers 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 curren
t systems were also
submitted and Board approved
(a copy of those upgrade recommendations are

This was a very exciting year in the District for i
nstructional technology. During
this year the District initiated a WFL-GV BOCES pil
ot with the installation of the
Compaq/Dynacom Multimedia Distribution System. A h
eadend room with all

1998-1999 School Year
:
With the previous years multimedia pilot installati
on, the majority of the 1998-
1999 school year was devoted to training, staff dev
elopment and “debugging” of
the system. Additionally, the district began plann
ing a $27million capital project.
Technology upgrades would be a large part of this p
roject. (A
complete copy of
the Division 17 Technology Educational Plan for this capital project is attached
hereto as Appendix F
)

se fast-speed
copier/scanner/faxing devices were networked with o
ffice 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 installat
ion of the Horizon Fastlane Point
of Sale System.

ies by programming various
users direct access to our DocuCenter printers.
2005-2006 School Year:
STAFF CHANGE:
With the district being awarded the Reading First g
rant, and technology being an
integral part of this program, we again contracted
with WFL BOCES for a third
shared technical support position. The position of
Net Analyst I was filled.
Additionally, a second Teaching Assistant position
was created for Dalton
elementary.

SECURITY
The security of all our systems must be the top pri
ority and maintained at all times. Since
time and funds are limited it is critical to determ
ine 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 Accepta
ble Use Policy and the District’s
Internet Content Filtering Policy
(copies of which are attached hereto as Appendix J
).
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 f
or the equipment are essential.
Network Security
This area deals with keeping our network scheme saf
e, 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 th
e integrity of its users and those
who disregard others safety will be dealt with.
MEANS: eTrust Anti-Virus & Windows Defender are th
e standard and strict
adherence to the Acceptable Use Policy will be enfo
rced.
Data Security
This area deals with keeping software and user file
s secure from unauthorized access and
modification. When students are using any workstati
ons with access to confidential
information (such as grades, evaluations, test or t
he Internet), it is imperative that they do
so under supervised and monitored conditions.
MEANS: An accurate backup system must be maintaine
d in the event of a
security breach.
Internet Security
This area deals with the security of our internet a
ccess. Information exchanges with
unknown entities is prohibited and access to sites
with little or no educational value are
screened.
MEANS: All workstations on our network will be rou
ted through the Bess

CURRICULAR GOALS: GRADES K-5
Following is a representation of our Elementary Ob
jectives for the District
Technology Goals as they align with State Learning
Standards and District Curricular
Objectives.
These current schemes are just the beginning of ou
r District’s integration of
technology. It is our belief that once basic techn
ology skill levels are mastered, the
curriculum will become
infused
with technology and specific integration plans are
obsolete.
It will be the responsibility of the Dalton Techno
logy Team to review these goals on
an annual basis with the following questions in min
d:
?
What Do We What Our Students To Learn?
?
How Do We Know They Have Learned It?
?
What Will We Do When They Have Not?

COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY
CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK
The Elementary Computer Curriculum Framework has be
en developed to address these
issues by establishing objectives for students at e
ach grade level. Computers are powerful
and creative instructional tools that can enhance l
earning most effectively when they are
integrated with the classroom curriculum. All stud
ents must develop proficient
information technology skills as a prerequisite for
future academic and professional
success. The technology objectives in this documen
t are driven and drawn from
recommendations made by New York State's "Long Rang
e Plan for Technology in
Elementary and Secondary Education," the "New Compa
ct for Learning," and the
English, Social Studies, and Math, Science and Tech
nology curriculum frameworks.

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 revisio
ns 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, so
ftware, application
and staff development needs.
During each of these phases, the following criteria
will be used to determine our needs:
?
Does the plan align with district curricular goals
?
?
Is the plan cost-effective?
?
Does the plan require a further review of current
technology systems?
?
