I. Introduction The Technology Advisory Committee (TAC)was established in the fall of 1993 to oversee districtwide efforts related to both instructional and administrative computing. The committee consists of parents, teachers,non-certified staff,UNC faculty, school principals and district administrative staff. Each school identified parents and teachers to serve on the committee based on their knowledge of issues associated with technology and on their interest in serving. TAC is co-chaired by Sheila Cory and Doug Noell. TAC met monthly during the 1993-94 school year. At the first two meetings,committee members reviewed the direction set for the district by the 1991 Instructional Technology Plan and the 1992 Administrative Technology Plan. These documents provide the basic direction for instructional and administrative computing in the district. This year's efforts focused on making recommendations in the following areas: Caurriculum • How shall the district assure that all students achieve the technology-specific competencies in the NC Standard Course of Study and the District Long-Range Technology Plan? Facilities • What are appropriate standards for media automation for our elementary, middle and high schools? • What are appropriate standards for networking for our elementary,middle and high schools? Personnel • How shall the district assure that teachers have the appropriate training to develop the technology-specific competencies? • What site based and district personnel is needed to adequately support the technology program (including network support,maintenance/repair,curriculum support,staff development)? TAC divided into subcommittees to focus on curriculum and facilities. After initial discussion took place in the subcommittees,the entire committee reviewed and refined recommendations and addressed the issues associated with personnel. The following sections discuss each of the three areas—curriculum, facilities, and personnel.
