1. BENCHMARK 1: Commitment to a Clear Vision and Mission Statement

A. Vision, Mission and Goals

1) Do you have an up-to-date, long-range technology plan on file in your district?  YES     NO
2) Is your district technology plan posted on your web site?  YES     NO
    If yes, what is the URL for your technology plan?

                                                                                                                         http://www.chicopee.mec.edu/nhp/Techplan/chicopee.htm

3) The following contains the vision, mission and goals of your district technology plan that you last submitted:
Continue to proceed to our goal of 5:1 ratio of computers. Working with consultants on the purchase and installation of new computer systems, which will include both wireless and mobile technology. The school has built into its design three specialized presentation areas incorporating SMART board technology with multimedia presentation and projection capabilities. Incorporating remote management capabilities into the new Chicopee High School. Continuing with architectural design on the COMP construction project. Bring on board additional modules/components of IPASS (our web based student information system) considering for future implementation Parental Component (parents will have access through Internet to their Students grades, attendance and discipline information.) Up grade the four remaining Elementary schools LAN Servers. (That does not have sufficient Hard Drive space and have only 233 MHZ processors.) Incorporation of three mobile Centrino wireless lap top computer labs into Comprehensive High School. To add “Read 180” a computer-reading curriculum support program in the Secondary Schools and one Elementary school. To add in all Elementary Schools the Houghton Mifflin Math “Ways to access” program to facilitate NCLB reporting. To assist Stefanik and Bowe Elementary Schools in the set up on their LAN servers to utilize the “Reading First” program for assessment. To purchase of additional computer workstations from Title II D to assist schools that are low performing in MATH. Preliminary plans with WPI (Worcester Poly Tech) and MEC (Merrimack Education Center) in the setting up a Western Mass. INTERNET II learning center.
