Executive Summary

Santa Anna Independent School District is commited to the infusion of technology into its classroom curriculum. Advanced technology has been built into our infrastructure, classrooms, and labs. A technology coordinator is on staff for our small district to coordinate the infusion of technology. The Internet is now a mainstay of information for our classes. Our library is fully automated with a full-time aide and certified librarian assistance from Region XV Education Service Center. Students and staff regularly use network resources. Two distance learning labs are available for distance learning classes and staff development. As a participant of a wide area network (WAN) through the Education Service Center, Region XV, we are able to share resources, opportunities, and freely communicate with our peers.

Socio-economic Conditions of the Community:

The target population of Santa Anna is predominately economically disadvantaged as well as undereducated. In 2000 the population of Santa Anna was 1081, with a per capita income of $11,065.00.

Of the population 25 and older, 13.5% have less than a 9th grade education. 18.1% went through the 12th grade without graduating, 35.7% are high school graduates, and 32.7% have education beyond high school.

In the school district 80.00% are economicallly disadvantaged(free or reduced lunch.)

The focus of the SANET plan is to maintain and enhance our district-wide network while seamlessly,integrating technology into the curriculum.

Listed are the featured areas of the plan:

* All administrators, teachers, office personel, and instructor aides will receive training in areas of technology and meet minimum technology proficiency requirements.

* In order to improve teacher training and curriculum integration, each teacher will have a multimedia computer/printer/TV/VCR/DVD module connected to the district-wide network.

* A district-wide infrastructure will be maintained which will sustain today and tomorrow's technological needs.

* Technology support will be provided to all areas of education.

* A position of Technology Coordinator will be maintained to oversee and implement this plan, to maintain the district-wide network, and to keep up with the ever-changing technologies.

* Internet usage will be available on all classroom, library, and office computers.

* E-mail addresses will be assigned and used by all teachers and office personnel.

* The Santa Anna ISD Web Site will be maintained to provide information to parents and students.

* Distance Learning will be made available to faculty, students, and community members.

* Software will be provided to students to enable self-paced study.

This summary is based on the following needs and recommendations of the SANET Planning Committee:

Training
Access and equity to equipment and software
Access and availability to information
Overall Long-Range District Plan
Support
Funding
Curriculum integration
Networking


Needs Assessment

Assessment Process:
Annual surveys are taken from teachers and administration to establish needs and technological abilities. The results of these surveys are used to identify technology needs for hardware, software, and staff development.

TAKS scores, Texas Star Chart data, Campus Improvement Plans, and AEIS data were also used to establish an accurate needs assessment.

District-wide hardware and software inventories, along with trouble-shooting calls were used to determine hardware, software, and licensing requirements.

Existing Conditions:
District Wide:

SAISD has established a fiber optic backbone connecting the administration, high school, and elementary buildings. Our network is Ethernet, using Cisco 2950 switches (purchased in 1996) with a Cisco 3700 core router (2003) connected via T1 to Regional Education Service Center XV. The local firewall is a Cisco 506E Pix.

Three servers are utilized district wide.
Dell PE2500, PIII, 256 RAM, 34 GB
Intel XEON, 1.8Ghz, 256 RAM, 100 Gb
SuperMicro, Windows 2003 Server, Xeon 2.66 GHz,2 Gb RAM.
Internet filtering is through Educational Service Center XV.

One Polycom distance learning facility is available for district wide use and one Tanberg Video Conferenceing System is being utilized district and community wide.

Our fully automated library is equipped with 11 computers available for student use.

High School:

There is a 1:1 ratio of computers for administration and teaching staff.
There is one (28-station) lab for student use with 3 additional student computers in the special education room and two computers in the ISS (in school suspension) room.

Each classroom has one shared laser printer.

Elementary:

There is a 1:1 ration of computers for administration and teaching staff.
One (23-station) lab is available for student use. One 12 station lab is used for the CEI lab.
Each classroom has one 2 computers for use by Teachers and students.
Each classroom has one shared laser printer

Standardized software:

Microsoft Office
Accelerated Reader
Sagebrush (library software)
Odyssey


Technology Needs:
Outdated and failing equipment causes network down time for teachers and students.

Switches and patch panels district wide were purchased in 1996, of which many ports are unusable.

In order for our students to be competitive in the job market after graduation they must be trained on software and hardware which is up-to-date and considered industry standard.

Students planning to extend their education will be expected to be technologically literate. Most institutions of higher education require students to communicate via e-mail, complete assignments on-line, submit electronic versions of their work, as well as retrieve data from the Internet.

Evaluation

Evaluation Process:
An annual survey on skills, usage, and needs will be performed. TAKS scores, AEIS data, Texas Star Chart, and Inventories will be reviewed for status and progress. Aggregation of data will be done by the Site Base Committee and Technology Planning Committee with results given to the superintendent.

The Technology Planning Committee will meet semi-annually to evaluate progress, needs, and concerns.

Outcomes will be documented in minutes of the committees, in reports, and reflected in an up-dated technology plan.


Evaluation Method:
1) Integrating technology into curriculum and instruction:
PDAS Records
Lesson plans
Computer Lab logs
Student portfolios

2) Increasing the ability of teachers to teach:
Staff development records
Support logs
