Membership on this committee will be based on individual interest and committment to the project. Should the need arise, a building election may be held for teacher positions. The community positions will also be filled based on interest, and chosen at random if the need arises. Subcommittees may be formed to discuss various elements of the plan. Meetings will convene in June of each year to evaluate teacher surveys, observations, and needs assessments and to begin to revise the current plan. //
 * Role of the Committee:**


 * Role of Committee Stakeholders:**

__//**Administrative Positions**//__ The administration will represent the district as a whole, as well as the teachers and students which reside in their individual buildings. They must take into account not only the instructional and curricular technologies, but also the logistical and administrative technologies required at the district level.

__//**Educator Positions**//__ The educators will represent the student body as a whole as well as their specific student population based on content area or building. The educators will also represent the faculty and staff contained within their respective buildings. They will take into account the instructional and curricular uses of district technology.

//__**Community & Parental Positions**__// The community members will represent the larger school community. They will focus on access to district technology as well as ease of use and the use of district technology to communicate most effectively with the outside community.

__//**Student Positions**//__ The student members will represent the district student body as a whole. They will focus on issues of accessibility, instructional usage, and access to instructional resources.


 * Using surveys gathered from the previous years' technology plan, the district has identified the following needs to be addressed in the technology plan and to guide the inital technology committee meetings.**

- Accessibility issues with individuals within and outside of the district - Lack of availability and information regarding professional development in technology - Lack of technical support directly related to instructional usage
