Budget/Financial
Plan
The
charts below provide information about budget lines that we use to
purchase and support technology and to provide training.
When
funds are available, we rely on the following sources of grant funding to
support technology:
·
Title VI
funding supports our T-1 to the Internet at each campus and the
development of our wireless network. Title II has funded calculator
training for our math instructors.
·
Block
grants fund our Connected University subscription and our BDIT
professional development sessions.
·
We have
submitted a grant application through Safe Schools program for bar code/ID
technology to allow us to monitor student participation at large events
such as football games and dances.
·
The
Education to Careers program has provided career counseling and funds for
subscriptions to an online career database/web site.
·
Through
the eRate we have received discounts on our telephony and
telecommunications charges.
·
Our
vocational educators purchase a variety of computing devices through the
Carl Perkins and Program Improvement Grants.
·
Closing
the Gap: This Illinois grant program (formerly TIP program) helped us
establish an engaged learning program and will help us continue this
program.
·
School
Improvement: To coordinate technology programs with school improvement
initiatives, the Technology Director collaborates with curriculum leaders,
administrators, and a consortium of sender district and community
technology planners. Examples include school vision activities, leadership
training, Space Committee, Joint Technology Institute Day planning and
execution, and presence at open house events.
It
should be noted that we began a program of technology leasing during the
FY2001 school year. This program allowed us to establish a robust
infrastructure to support our expanding program and has allowed us to
expand our programs while still support existing installations—something
that our growth has demanded.
Other
departments do some purchasing of software through their own budget lines,
including foreign language and the libraries, the latter of which
purchases online databases.
Salary
lines support the following personnel who are directly involved in
technology support:
·
Director

Administrator
·
Department
Secretary
·
2
Instructional Aides, who support students and teachers in labs and

·

supports our new student information system (hired as part of this plan)
·

Other
staff who report to the Technology Director and who also support
technology include the following:
·
2

·
1

·
3

·
