I need to gather some information for strategic planning. Please answer =
the
following:

1. Are your technology positions separated into instructional and =
technical
or are the positions combined?

2. What are the titles and general duties of your technology dept., both
instructional and technical?

3. Does your school have a 1-to-1 program?

4. At which grade level does your 1-to-1 begin?

5. Do you have special staffing to meet the needs of your 1-to-1 program.
If yes, please explain.

Thanks for your time,
Melissa Lofton
