3 year plan; updated yearly Committee led by Technology Director and consisting of representatives from each campus, superintendent, assistant

Total student enrollment – 8728, with almost 80% economically disadvantaged All 12 campuses completed the Texas Campus STaR Chart

Almost all strategies are In Progress…a few are just in the planning stages and a couple have been completed

All but one objective falls into the Infrastructure for Technology category in accordance with the Texas long Range Plan for Technology. Objective 1.5 falls under Teaching and Learning

All in progress

Most of the money spent in 2011

November and staudt wrote in their Critical Issue article that …. I believe that the CISD technology plan is just that and as this plan expires after next year, I will be excited to see what the new plan will hold.
