The Media Center and Technology Support Staff have formed a working partnership to best support instruction and learning.


 CURRENT CONCERNS

Support staff is stretched well past their capacity in order to support the increasing number of computers and need for professional development.

Intermittent infrastructure deficiencies that affect


connectivity,

communication,

curriculum delivery, and

reporting

Assemblies can rarely be attended by all students, and there is no place for a few classes to meet and share a special program.

Teaching strategies are limited by uncertainty about the consistent availability of technology. The district needs a workable replacement cycle program and budget.

Equity of access for ALL students at school and at home.
