April 25 Board Meeting -- Getting Technical Again

Dr. Tim Mahaffy presented a revised Tech Plan at the April 25 Board meeting. The 3-year plan expenditures are still projected to be $222,500.00 ($71,000 in year one, $75,750 in years two and three), but there will be one change: the pilot program using online tools for tracking student performance would take place at the Middle School only. The original plan had the online tools in use by ARS in year three of the tech plan. He also said that he was expecting feedback from the State of Illinois, which must approve the plan, and should have that feedback to present to the Board at the May 23rd Board meeting.

The breakdown of the Tech Plan is as follows:

Year 1
Technology Budget ongoing $39,000
