Hi John (and the list) - The PowerPoint presentation from the Cortina meeting is the first link on this page: http://education.vermont.gov/new/html/pgm_edtech.html The actual template for the local plans (called the "Guidance" document) with links to resources, submission directions, etc. is available at: http://education.vermont.gov/new/html/pgm_edtech/state_plan.html Plans are due by June 30, 2007. If submitted by this date the plan will be assumed approved and will therefore give you uninterrupted plan approval for E-Rate purposes. While we recommend trying to do a supervisory union-wide plan, there are all sorts of extenuating circumstances so you are certainly free to do a plan hat covers only Cabot. You'll see that on the Signature Page you must indicate the school(s) covered by the particular plan. Good luck - Bill Romond Educational Technology Coordinator Vermont Department of Education 120 State Street Montpelier, VT 05620-2501 802-828-0064 [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: School Information Technology Discussion [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of John McSweeney Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 7:54 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Technology Planning resources Hi Bill I just visited the vtcite page but did not find what I am looking for. Can you direct me to basic guidelines/template resource materials from the cortina workshop for proceeding with our tech plan update. Is the Due date end of June? I have been looking over past plans including our 1997 plan. Each seems to be a binder full of material. My plan is to try to do a scaled down overview plan of current state and desired state with action steps..... based on key areas such as acesss and infrastructure, support, PD, etc. Our last plan was done together with twinfield, Does it have to remain a joint diistrict/su plan or are we ok doing a Cabot plan? thanks John
