About the Texas e-Plan
Under the direction of TEA, the Technology Planning
and E-Rate Support Center (TPESC)
at Education Service Center Region 12 collaborated with the South
Central Regional Technology in Education Consortium to design and
develop the Texas 3-Plan, an online Technology Planning System to enable
districts and charter schools to meet state and federal technology
planning requirements. Special thanks is issued to the southwest
Educational Development Laboratory (SEDL) for programming and hosting
the Texas e-Plan site,
the Educational Technology Advisory Committee (ETAC)
for initial input into the site planning, and to Education Service
Centers for feedback on the site design and components during site
development.
Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001,
Title II, Part D, Enhancing Education Through Technology, the law states
that in order to be eligible to receive a sub grant from the State
educational agency, a local educational agency or eligible local entity
shall submit to the State educational agency an application containing a
new or updated local long-range strategic educational technology plan
that is consistent with the objectives of the statewide educational
plan.
In addition, schools and districts are required to
have an approved technology plan to participate in the federal Schools
and Libraries Universal Service Support Program, better known as E-Rate.
The TEA is the authorized approver for K-12 public school technology
plans. TEA does not approve private school technology plans.
All Texas districts are required to submit a new or
revised Technology Plan electronically during the 2003 – 2004 school
year via the Texas e-Plan system. This online planning systems allows
districts to create, edit, and file an online technology plan. The
online technology plan can then be reviewed and approved online. Schools
and districts will receive an electronic approval for the plan.
Along with the online plan, districts must complete
the online Texas STaR Chart Needs Assessment for each campus at least
once annually. The Texas STaR
Chart is a tool for technology planning, budgeting for resources,
and evaluation of progress in integrating technology into the school
curriculum and infrastructure. The website will be open January through
May 31, 2004.
To provide assistance with technology planning and
E-Rate, TEA has established the Technology Planning and E-Rate Support
Center (TPESC) at Education Service Center Region 12. The TPESC will
coordinate the Peer Review Process for technology plans submitted via
the Texas e-Plan system. |
