As a result of E-rate<br \/>\nfunding for the Internet access provider and leased cable lines for thw WAN\/LAN, more<br \/>\nstudents have the ability to access the Internet for instructional purposes. Additionally, the<br \/>\ndistrict has funded more computers and printers for the classroom through local money and<br \/>\nbond issues. Limited use of distance learning equipment now exists at two junior highs.<br \/>\nFor the E-rate application, telecommunication service funding will be requested for<br \/>\nphone service, cellular service, Internet access provider and Internet access through leased<br \/>\ncable lines (WAN\/LAN) for the network.<br \/>\nInternal Connections\/Other Services:<br \/>\nThe needs of the district for internal connections become greater with each year. Erate<br \/>\nfunding has significantly improved the sites that were eligible for the higher discounts<br \/>\nfor basic maintenance to ensure continued normal operation of servers and switches,<br \/>\nrouters, and cabling. Support through maintenance is vitally important in that these sites<br \/>\nhave a higher need and demand for the use of technology.<br \/>\nThe district is working toward the goal of providing more wireless capability to<br \/>\nsupport wireless connectivity from any classroom in addition to the cabling that exists in<br \/>\nMid-Del School Technology Plan 22<br \/>\neach classroom. E-rate funding would be a catalyst for more wireless technology in the<br \/>\ndistrict as a part of our instructional goals for greater student accessibility and use,<br \/>\ndemonstration of competencies in the use of technology, and increased academic<br \/>\nperformance.<br \/>\nFor the E-rate Year 10 application, cabling, basic maintenance, telecommunications,<br \/>\nInternet access, and student e-mail services are requested for funding.<br \/>\nSIF<br \/>\nOklahoma state law (HB 1646, 2003 legislative session) requires school district<br \/>\ncompliance with the Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) by 2005-06 school year. SIF<br \/>\nenables district to send and receive individual student records to and from the State<br \/>\nDepartment of Education (SDE) using XML standards and protocols.<br \/>\nFor SIF vertical compliance, each student record will receive a state student ID<br \/>\nnumber that is randomly generated by the SDE when the records are initially received from<br \/>\nthe district. The number assigned by the Wave will be sent back to the district on each<br \/>\nstudent record and should be retained locally as long as educational services are provided to<br \/>\nthe student in the state of Oklahoma. It should be used in conjunction with local<br \/>\nidentification numbers.<br \/>\nMid-Del Schools is working with each software vendor to ensure that SIF agents are<br \/>\ndeveloped for the software products. At this time, the following district owned products are<br \/>\nSIF compliant and the agent has been implemented or is in the process of being<br \/>\nimplemented:<br \/>\n\u2022 Student Accounting Software System \u2013 SASI<br \/>\n\u2022 Transportation Software \u2013 VersaTrans<br \/>\nMid-Del School Technology Plan 23<br \/>\n\u2022 Child Nutrition Services Software \u2013 Horizon<br \/>\n\u2022 Library Media Software \u2013 Follett<br \/>\n\u2022 Student Assessment Software \u2013 EduSoft<br \/>\nWave<br \/>\nOklahoma\u2019s state student information system is called \u201cThe Wave\u201d. The Wave is a<br \/>\ncustomized and secure electronic student information system enabling data-driven decisions<br \/>\nregarding the education of Oklahoma\u2019s future, our children.<br \/>\nThe Wave is designed to provide accurate and comparable data at the district\u2019s<br \/>\nfingertips and speed up the process of research and best practice initiatives. It will keep up<br \/>\nwith our mobile society and allow us to retain valuable information on students. Mid-Del<br \/>\nSchools has implemented The Wave.<br \/>\nStudent Tracking and Reporting (STAR) Pilot Program<br \/>\nThe Student Tracking and Reporting (STAR) Pilot Program was created by the<br \/>\nOklahoma State Legislature to provide for the development and implementation of a<br \/>\nhorizontal school district and school site level student data management and reporting<br \/>\nsystem based on the Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) industry open-standard.<br \/>\nMid-Del Schools applied for and was chosen as one of the 13 school districts that<br \/>\nwould receive a portion of the initial grant. Those funds were spent for improving the<br \/>\ndistricts horizontal communication system that is already in place. Specifically, the funds<br \/>\nwere used to:<br \/>\n\u2022 Purchase a SIF compliant student benchmarking program<br \/>\n\u2022 Purchase the available SIF agent for the Horizon software program<br \/>\nMid-Del School Technology Plan 24<br \/>\n\u2022 Purchase a SIF compliant Data Warehousing and Portal software program<br \/>\n\u2022 Training for district employees in managing new operating system software<br \/>\n\u2022 Consulting fees for implementing and managing the new software programs.<br \/>\ne-Rate Technology Goals<br \/>\nThis plan establishes clear goals and a realistic strategy for using telecommunications<br \/>\nand information technology to improve education and library services.<br \/>\nThe Mid-Del School District school improvement plan focuses on technology that<br \/>\nsupports the goals of \u201cNo Child Left Behind\u201d.
