Executive Summary

The Big Sandy Independent = School District=20 (BSISD) recognizes the increasing need to know more, how to access = information,=20 to communicate, and to understand. Utilizing technology in well balanced = PreK-12=20 and community outreach programs, BSISD will provide students, faculty, = and the=20 community the opportunity to develop lifelong learning skills and = marketable=20 competencies.

It is the vision of BSISD to develop a greater = sense of=20 understanding and the skills required to access the global sources of = knowledge.=20 Integrating technology as a part of the curriculum, students, faculty = and the=20 community will have the opportunity to develop lifelong learning skills = and use=20 personally and professionally.

Because BSISD provides the = majority of=20 enrichment experiences that students have with the outside world, every = student,=20 regardless of economic background, should be immersed in technology = experiences=20 from around the world. With optimal computer access, students and = teachers can=20 experience a renewed enthusiasm for learning and for broadening their=20 perspectives beyond geographical and economic limitations.

The = Long=20 Range Technology Plan is a working framework that Big Sandy plans to use = to=20 achieve its vision of technology for the district. It is reviewed once a = year=20 and changes are made as needs are addressed.

Needs Assessment

Assessment = Process:
The=20 performance of students served by Big Sandy ISD is diminished because of = the=20 extreme geographical isolation and limited resources due to the size of = our=20 district. This isolation of the district, combined with the economics of = the=20 area, restricts student educational resources, staff development, and = community=20 growth. It is a 28 mile drive one way to the nearest library, found in=20 Livingston. The nearest university libraries are more than an hour=92s = drive from=20 the school.

To enhance the lives of these students we must first = provide=20 a quality education. It is difficult not only because of the = geographical=20 location but also the limited resources due to the size of the district. = BSISD=20 employs 36 teaching professionals in grades PreK-12. Having qualified = and=20 equipped personnel to meet the needs of our students is a challenge. As = a=20 result, teachers have multiple preparations with few resources to assist = them.=20 Due to our remote rural location we are unable to transport students to = sites=20 which would enhance their cultural and intellectual growth. We feel that = the=20 district has a challenge to deploy advanced technology in every = classroom.=20

BSISD teachers, administration, and students need to be computer = literate and familiar with all types of current emerging technologies. = Staff=20 members need to use technology as learning tools in all academic subject = areas.=20 Students need access to computer-based and technological learning to = become=20 productive in the future work place and global technological world. =

Big=20 Sandy ISD uses a comprehensive needs assessment using teacher/parent = surveys,=20 interviews, inventory, site Chart base decision making recommendations, = and=20 Texas STaR to address areas of need.

Existing Conditions:
Statement of Existing Conditions =

Big=20 Sandy ISD is made up of one campus. At the present time, we have = Internet access=20 in every classroom with at least two computers (and up to five) = connected to the=20 internet and the BSISD LAN.

BSISD enjoys the benefits of a fiber = backbone WAN and 10/100/1000 mbs switched LAN. We are members of the = COMNet=20 consortium. COMNet is a consortium of most of the school districts in = Region VI=20 ESC. COMNet members are joined by T-1 Lines connected to ESC VI. We = currently=20 have two T-1 lines.

We have Rosslare's Veritrax network access = door=20 controller. Proximity Card Readers are installed at all public entry = doors=20 within the district. Faculty and students are issued a access card (key) = that is=20 read by the proximity card reader and allows access to the doors for = particular=20 times and days. All visitors are asked to sign in at the appropriate = offices=20 upon arrival at the campus.

We have four computer labs and one = mobile=20 laptop lab. The High School lab consists of 23-3.6 GHz, 512 Meg RAM, = Windows XP=20 Pro workstations. These workstations are used to teach BCIS, Technology=20 Applications, Keyboarding, Computer Applications and available for=20 student/faculty research. The second lab is located in the Middle school = building and consists of 20 -2.8 Ghz, 1 Gig RAM Nobilis Windows XP = workstations=20 and are used to teach Computer Applications, Web Mastering, Digital = Graphic=20 Animation, Desktop Publishing, Odyssey, Networking & = Telecommunications and=20 are available for student/faculty research.

The third lab is = located in=20 the Middle school building and consists of 20 2.8Ghz or better, 1GB RAM = ,=20 Windows XP Pro Noblis workstations and are used to teach Computer = Applications,=20 Life Skills, Keyboarding and are available for student/faculty research. =

We have two Distance = Learning=20 consoles that consists of Large Screen TV monitor, a camera, VCR, and = computer.=20 One is used extensively for Distance Learning and Staff Development. =

We=20 have 37 projectors that interface with computers, one of which displays = on a 12=92=20 electric roll down projection screen.

We have 6 Palm Pilots. The = Palm=20 pilots are used to collect student performance data as teachers assess=20 individual students using the TPRI as a benchmark. Once assessment is = complete,=20 various data analysis tools and teaching intervention strategies are = used to=20 improve student performance.

We have 13 sets of Quizdom = Interactive=20 Student Response systems. Qwizdom's technology is designed to engage = everyone in=20 the audience, it instantly grade assignments,tracks performance, and = gets=20 students excited about learning. We currently have curriculum is the = folowing=20 areas: Geometry, Algebra I & II, grades 4-9 Math, grades 4-8 = Reading, Grades=20 5 & 8 Science, Physics, Chemistry, Grades: 10 & exit Science.=20
