School District of Osceola County, Florida 

2013-2016 Educational Technology Plan 

1.0 Mission and Vision 

Mission: Promote the effective use of technology to improve student achievement. 

Vision: The School District of Osceola County will provide technology-rich environments as a 

key to relevant education, encouraging lifelong learning for all students. 

1.1 Promote the effective use of technology in implementing the Next Generation Sunshine 

State Standards/Common Core State Standards to improve student achievement 

The District actively promotes advances in and the support of successful integration of 

technology into the standards-aligned curriculum. It values the task of investing in the future 

accomplishments of all students by enhancing the learning process. Student success must be the 

collective goal of all who are associated with everything that is technology, be it software, 

hardware, network connectivity, computer literacy and professional development for teachers. 

Departments in the District that collaboratively shape current and future technology include the 

Media and Instructional Technology Department (MITD), Information Technology Services 

Department (ITSD) and the Management Information Services Department (MISD). MITD staff 

interfaces with teachers across the District during training events, mentoring sessions and gradelevel 

meetings, while staff from the other two departments operates unobtrusively to sustain 

programs, provide data reporting, monitoring the network and its users, and maintaining all 

District devices and peripherals. Examples of the services provided include, but are not limited to 

the following: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Advocating the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) National 

Educational Technology Standards (NETS) increases awareness in administrators and 

teachers of indicators that demonstrate understanding of curriculum integration strategies 

Promoting Florida Department of Education resources, such as FCAT Explorer, CPalms, 

Florida Virtual Curriculum Marketplace and the Florida Center for Instructional Technology 

Assisting classroom teachers in planning and modeling lessons that integrate technology 

Assisting non-instructional staff in use of interactive technology to improve job effectiveness 

Supporting and promoting Internet-based projects such as Gaggle.net, on-line field trips, 

video conferencing and collaborative ventures with students in classes in different states or 

countries 

Continuing to build and secure the District-wide data network to facilitate access to digital 

curriculum resources before, during and after school. Representation of District Wide Area 

Network (WAN) found in Appendix A 

Establishing a District level professional learning community to develop proficiency in 

school-based curriculum coaches and teachers in the use of various technologies adopted by 

the District 

1 


2.0 General Introduction/Background 

The general introduction/background component of the plan should include, but not be limited 

to: 

2.1 District Profile-Provide relevant social, economic, geographic and demographic factors 

influencing the District implementation of technology 

Osceola County encompasses an area of Central Florida that has undergone significant change in 

recent years. The United States Census estimates Osceola County’s population at 268,685 

residents for 2010. Bouts of explosive growth over the last few decades have resulted in an 

increase of 149% from the population of 107,728 in 1990. Many factors and events have shaped 

the county since its founding in 1887, but the arrival of Walt Disney World surely represents one 

of the most defining milestones. These sprawling, nearby theme parks and resorts transformed 

Osceola County from a small, rural community with a population of 25,267 in 1970 to the everchanging 

community it is today. 

Osceola County is a 1,506 square mile area that serves as the south/central boundary of the 

Central Florida greater metropolitan area. Although officially considered suburban in nature, an 

urban area in the northwest quadrant dominates Osceola County’s geography. This area adjoins 

Polk, Orange, and Lake Counties and includes most of Osceola’s population. It encompasses the 

communities of Poinciana, Buenaventura Lakes, Celebration, and unincorporated areas ranging 

from Narcoossee and Harmony in the northeast to Campbell City and Intercession City in the 

southwest to Deer Run and St. Cloud Manor in the southeast. 

Not surprisingly, because of the county’s proximity to numerous tourist attractions, scores of 

county residents work within the hospitality and service fields for minimum wage. Income 

statistics reflect the low-paying jobs many people hold. Based on the 2009 United States Census 

estimate, the median household income is $42,626, below the national median of $44,755. The 

estimate of people living below the poverty level is 15.8%. A significant 67.6% of the student 

population qualifies for the free/reduced lunch program. According to the United States 

Department of Labor’s Local Area Unemployment Statistics for October 2011, Osceola County's 

unemployment rate had reached an overwhelming high of 10.8%. 

One of the most interesting county characteristics is Osceola’s racial and ethnic diversity. The 

most recent data available (2011-2012 school year) for the racial makeup of the District’s 54,448 

students reflects the diversity, with 27% White, 11 % Black, 52% Hispanic, 3% Asian/Pacific, 

1% American Indian or Alaskan, and 6% Multi-Racial. The District’s culturally diverse 

community represents 107 countries and involves use of 94 different languages. Accordingly, a 

significant portion of the student population (25%) is “Limited English Proficiency” (LEP) in 

2011-2012, and 14% of the population is comprised of “Students with Disabilities.” 

Overall, in spite of various gains, students’ 2011 Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test 

(FCAT) results show a pattern of achievement that consistently falls below state averages. For 

reading, 68% of district elementary school students scored Level III or above, while the state 

average is 71%. Similarly, 59% of district middle school students and 36% of district high school 

(grades 9 and 10) students scored Level III or above in reading, but the state reports higher 

averages of 63% for middle school and 44% for high school. In mathematics, percentages of 

district students achieving Level III or greater are 64% for elementary school, 52% for middle 

school, and 64% for high school (grade 10). Once again, state averages were higher with 72% for 

elementary school, 62% for middle school, and 71% for high school. On the science portion, 49% 

2 


of district elementary school students scored Level III or above compared to the state average of 

51%. The district percentages for middle and high school students were 37% and 32% 

respectively, well below the state middle school average of 46% and high school average of 40%. 

The District’s post-secondary institution, Technical Education Center Osceola (TECO), works 

closely with secondary students, offering a variety of courses and certifications (such as CNA, 

LPN, LEO, EPA, MOUS, A+, Network +, MCP, and MCSA) to make Osceola students job-ready 

upon graduation. The District’s graduation rate was 82.7% for the 2010-2011 school year. Once 

again, Osceola County has a higher graduation rate than the state average of 81.2%. Osceola 

County also continues to have a lower dropout rate (1.6%) than the state average (1.9%). 

A tremendous 82% of high school completers reported plans to seek further formal education in 

some capacity. Several continuing education opportunities are available locally. TECO offers a 

number of post-secondary, job-preparatory programs for adults; courses support a variety of 

career choices, and examples include Practical Nursing, Legal Administrative Specialist, 

Business Computer Programmer, Culinary Arts Practitioner, Law Enforcement Officer, 

Automotive Service Technician, and Residential/Commercial Electrician, and 

Residential/Commercial Plumber. Adult Learning Center Osceola (ALCO) offers ESOL, Adult 

Basic Education, and GED Preparation and Testing for adults. In addition, Valencia Community 

College and Florida Christian College have campuses in Osceola County. 

Population increases exert the most influence on Osceola’s situation. County agencies struggle to 

effectively address the growth. The student enrollment has tripled from 18,054 students in 1990 

to 56,089 students in January 2013. As of January 2013, the District employs 6,666 staff 

members (including 159 administrators, 3,493 instructional personnel, and 3,014 professional 

support personnel). The county has public transportation, a One-Stop Center, and a number of 

non-profit community organizations prepared to offer assistance with food, shelter, employment, 

medical health, education, and legal services. 

Because of the following economic conditions, students in Osceola County are at a disadvantage 

after school hours with limited access to the Internet and/or a computer. 

Higher unemployment rates than the state and national averages (Appendix B) 

Falling property values – affects district budget (decreased revenues)(Appendix B) 

Increasing number of Title I schools (Appendix B) 

The District has formed a partnership with the Kiwanis Club of Kissimmee to address the 

hardship of this limited access to computers. To be eligible, students must be identified as a 

“student in transition”, who reside in hotels, motels, campgrounds, cars, parks, emergency or 

transitional shelters, or are “doubled up” with friends or awaiting foster care placement. Students 

receive refurbished, surplus computers (Appendix B, “Press Release”). 

A tiered plan has been in place since 2008 to bring about conformity in classroom technology 

hardware configuration standards. The specifications include VoIP telephony, desktop/laptop 

computers, wireless connectivity, LCD projectors, document cameras, SMART Boards, audio 

enhancement systems, and SMART Response systems. Many school administrators have realized 

the value of the enhanced teaching methods and student enrichment that technology brings to the 

classroom, and have made budget decisions in favor of providing their teachers with as many of 

the available tools as possible. 

2.2 Planning Process: Provide a description of technology plan development process to include, 

but not be limited to: 

3 


Development of partnerships with community, business and industry 

The District Technology Committee meets monthly during the academic year. It is comprised of 

parents, teachers, school administrators and various staff representing District technology 

departments. The District technology plan is a living document which is amended annually, if 

necessary, to comply with state and federal program rules. During the three-year cyclical 

revision, the Technology Plan Revision Committee, a sub-committee of the District Technology 

Committee meets bi-weekly to review the current SDOC Educational Technology Plan (“Plan”) 

and make necessary updates. The District Technology Committee reviews and approves the Plan 

before presenting it to the School Board. 

After approval by the School Board, the Plan is submitted to the Florida Department of 

Education, the State Education Agency designated by the Universal Service Administration 

Company (USAC) to approve technology plans. The Florida Department of Education, Office of 

Technology and Information Services, retains the approved plan. In addition, this office requires 

an annual E-rate Addendum submittal for changes to the district plan that is on file to ensure that 

the plans correspond with E-rate funding requests. 

To meet the needs of students, teachers, and families, the District maintains partnerships (and 

memorandum agreements) with a myriad of local organizations. Examples of these collaborating 

entities include the city/county governments and Education Foundation -Osceola County; 

Kissimmee Chamber of Commerce; St. Cloud Chamber of Commerce; Community Vision, Inc.; 

Osceola County Council on Aging; Osceola County Health Department; Park Place Behavioral 

Health Care; Florida Department of Juvenile Justice; and American Red Cross. Library Media 

Specialists in the District function as the Osceola County School Librarians Association 

(OCSLA), in partnership with the Osceola County Public Library System, to help students and 

families love literacy, and cooperatively work to provide plans to infuse technology in teaching 

and learning information skills. 

 

Integration of technology in all areas of the curriculum, English for Speakers of Other 

Languages (ESOL) and Exceptional Student Education (E.S.E.), including students with 

disabilities 

The Exceptional Student Education (ESE) Department furnishes assistive computer hardware and 

software applications to improve functional capabilities of students with disabilities. Schoolbased 

Technology Contacts, ESE teachers and regular classroom teachers receive training 

throughout the academic year and summer months. Interactive technologies (e.g., SMART) have 

been adopted by the ESE department and a District ESE specialist is certified as a SMART 

trainer. Teachers attend conferences such as the Assistive Technology Industry Association 

(ATIA) 2012 to increase their knowledge and awareness of emerging approaches and innovative 

systems. A department Technology Contact participates in District-level technology related 

committee meetings as appropriate. 

The Multicultural Education Department serves students that are identified as English Language 

Learners (ELL), and assesses them for placement in the English for Speakers of Other Languages 

(ESOL) Program. Project F.A.S.T. (Families and Schools, Together!), was developed to provide 

ELL opportunities to extend their learning at home. A netbook computer with subject area 

software including Rosetta Stone, Mighty Math and Open Office is provided to participating 

students. 

4 


2.3 Collaboration with existing adult literacy service providers to maximize the use of such 

technologies and project resources 

Adult Learning Center of Osceola (ALCO) and Technical Education Center of Osceola (TECO) 

are two local adult educational service providers with which there is a collaborative partnership. 

The District provides technology resources, such as hardware and network connectivity, for these 

facilities. ALCO provides adult basic education in reading, writing, mathematics and remediation 

courses to prepare for the GED diploma. Adult students may also choose such options as Adult 

High School, English as a Second Language (ESL) or online courses. 

3.0 Needs Assessment/Goals 

The needs assessment/goals component of the plan should include, but not be limited to: 

3.1 A description of the information-based processes used for determining District instructional 

and administrative telecommunications and technology needs 

A description of the processes by which the District gathers information related to technology 

needs is better understood by looking at a brief history of the District Technology Committee and 

its sub-committees. The following list, in chronological order, records the date of formation and 

purpose of each organization. The Technology Plan Revision Committee, formed every three 

years, meets to review and amend the three-year technology plan for approval by the District 

Technology Committee and the School Board. The Technology Plan Revision Committee is led 

by the Instructional Technology Supervisor from MITD. 

The members of these sub-committees represent a cross-section of knowledgeable individuals 

performing daily tasks that qualify them to inform decision-makers about the technology needs in 

the District.

o Formerly named Software Evaluation Committee until June of 2012 

The Technology Services Department, Facilities Department, Maintenance Department and the 

Media and Instructional Technology Department (MITD) work in partnership to achieve the 

highest possible quality voice/data/video for the school District. These departments employ 

people with various industry standard certifications and credentials, e.g. BICSI, MSCE, 

Network+ and A+. Staff members submit periodic reports assessing the state/condition of 

specific systems located at each site, such as security/surveillance, HVAC, CCTV, intercom, data 

network, fire alarm, media retrieval, and VoIP telephones. The Facilities Department uses these 

reports to identify future projects and develop ongoing capital plans. See Appendix C: Capital 

Projects 2012- 2013. 

MITD conducts an annual web-based technology hardware survey. The data collected by each 

school site tallies the total number of computers according to operating system platform, 

hardware specifications and purpose of the computer, e.g. classroom, library, lab, faculty, or 

administrative. Other statistics collected account for the total of interactive whiteboards, LCD 

projectors, document cameras, and other digital devices. Staff disaggregates the data by school to 

determine the student to instructional computer ratio, the percentage of obsolete equipment, and 

the ratio of students to “non-obsolete” equipment. District administrators and department staff 

review the reports to address equitable access to technology. In addition, staff coordinates, 

manages and reviews data received during the administration of the school and district Florida 

Innovates Technology Resources Surveys. This data is submitted to the Florida Department of 

Education. See Appendix C for samples:

3.2 Identification of telecommunications services and technology infrastructure, equipment, 

assistive technology, programming (educational materials, software, media, etc.), 

replacement, training and support needs 

In an effort to reduce costs, the District underwent a migration from the traditional private 

business exchange to a district wide Voice over IP, (VoIP) implementation in a project started 

over a decade ago. Currently all facilities are equipped with operational hardware. The call 

processing system, Cisco CallManager 8.6.3, and voice mail system, Cisco Unity 4, need an 

upgrade, as they are several major versions behind and are beyond manufacturer support. In 

upgrading these to current releases of Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Unity 

Connections, the District will move to an environment that is significantly more stable and 

supported by the manufacturer. The upgrade will provide additional telephone capabilities and 

improved reporting functions. 

6 


The level of bandwidth service for elementary and middle schools was increased in October, 

2012, for the District’s Wide Area Network. School networks receive regular evaluation, since 

the driving force in upgrading these systems is the increasing demands of online testing, and 

digital curriculum resources (Appendix C: Bandwidth Report Sample). The District has applied 

for E-rate funding support for 2013-2014 to upgrade ten eligible schools. 

Technology equipment repair and refresh are recurring necessities, since it reaches obsolescence 

rapidly. With ever-increasing computer-based testing, additional computers will be required for 

middle and elementary level students. New student computers were purchased for eligible 

schools with Title I funding during the summer of 2012. Still, teacher computers need replacing 

to increase usability in the classroom for more engaging instructional program delivery methods. 

The possibility of portable, touch screen devices such as iPads or iPod Touches is under 

consideration by the ESE Department since many of the assistive technology vendors are now 

developing educational applications. 

The Media and Instructional Technology Department foresees technology needs in educational 

materials, software, and other media by maintaining close contact with the Library Media 

Specialists and the school Technology Contacts. Digital content delivery methods require 

associated program licensing for all schools. Since the District invested in transcoders, it is 

exploring the best options for purchasing content. Another necessity is the upgrade of server 

operating systems in numerous schools and facilities. 

One of the greatest needs is in the area of technical training for district technology departmental 

personnel. Instructional personnel also need training to incorporate the technological resources at 

their disposal. Though many teachers have a higher level of comfort in the use of resources, time 

limitations and an inadequate number of trainers hamper efforts to provide enough professional 

development opportunities. The Inventory of Teacher Technology Skills (ITTS) is useful as a 

tool for new teachers to self-assess technology skills, but the same hurdles exist in offering 

technology coaching for those needing assistance. 

Contract negotiations are taking place to implement the Local Instructional Improvement System 

(LIIS). Since this project is so comprehensive, it is not fully known what will be involved in the 

scope of the requirements for equipment, programming and training. 

3.3 District Technology Goals

4.1 Identification of major sources of funding for District-wide technology needs. Funding 

sources should be categorized as recurring or nonrecurring and include real and projected 

dollar amounts for the three-year technology plan 

Major recurring funding sources for technology needs include FEFP (Florida Education Finance 

Program) funds and discretionary local taxes. Some federal funding for technology expenditures 

is provided for eligible Title I schools. Department budgets, such as Media and Instructional 

Technology, Management Information Services, and Technology Services provide minimal 

funding. E-rate funding support, in the form of discounted internal connections, is considered 

non-recurring. The District Annual Budget for 2012-2013, (Appendix D), was adopted in 

September 2012 by the School Board. Summaries of expected 2012-2013 revenues and 

technology related appropriations associated to FEFP funds are detailed in section FUND 1XX - 

GENERAL FUND (pages 21-37). Line Items allocations specifically for technology purposes 

are detailed on Page 29. Section FUND 3XX - CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND (page 44) details 

the expected 2012-2013 revenues and technology related appropriations associated to Capital

Outlay funds. This section also includes the extended projections of revenues and technology 

related appropriations through 2016-2017. 

4.2 A sufficient budget to acquire and maintain the hardware, software, professional 

development, and other services that will be needed to implement the strategy for improved 

educational services 

Working within the scope of reduced state and federal funding is a challenge when addressing the 

term “sufficient”. The District will continue to leverage Title I funding, new school construction 

funds, and E-rate support where appropriate. The acquisition and maintenance of hardware and 

software are ongoing, and anticipated. However, lack of funding affects the ability to achieve 

desired improvements and facilitate professional development opportunities. 

4.3 Specifically identify the District's planned allocation and/or utilization of Public School 

Technology Funding (PSTF). The information under this plan component should: 

 

 

Describe specific District initiatives, projects, or programs currently (or recently) 

supported with these funds; and 

Project how PSTF funding will be targeted over the plan period to help meet critical 

technology support needs of the District 

Between the 2006-2007 and 2009-2010 school years, PSFT funding declined. The District has 

consistently provided funding annually to assist in keeping capital technology current. This 

funding has enabled the District to move to VoIP telephony, to increase the number of computer 

stations, upgrade network infrastructure and other technology capital projects. 

5.0 Technology Acquisition Plan 

The technology acquisition plan should include, but not be limited to: 

5.1 Identification of appropriate technologies to meet the goals of the District instructional 

program as identified by the needs assessment procedures 

One goal of the Superintendent, Melba Luciano, points to increasing student achievement, 

communication, assessment and overall productivity using technology. Software programs, 

which provide valuable data about student performance, have been identified and implemented in 

schools. Examples include Achieve3000, Renaissance Learning and Home Connect, Compass 

Odyssey, Read180 and Plato (Appendix E: SDOC – Software Applications). Communication 

between teachers and students takes place in secure, online environments using Gaggle and the 

Moodle LMS. 

Expanding Statewide assessments that measure student achievement establish priorities for 

technology expenditures. Advancements in computer system requirements dictate the evaluation 

of all resources in order to perform well during high-stakes testing. 

The District participates in the annual Florida Innovates Technology Resources Survey to provide 

current data to isolate school-level needs. 

The 2015 Florida statutory requirement, 1006.40(3a), that each district school board shall use at 

least 50% of the annual allocation for the purchase of digital or electronic instructional materials 

9 


included on the State adopted list. To prepare to meet the new requirement, the District is 

evaluating resources and delivery methods in order to lay the technological groundwork. 

New technology initiatives are being carefully explored, such as Bring Your Own Device 

(BYOD). A small market of the student population will test devices before large-scale 

implementation, because it is critically important to use available funding wisely. 

5.2 District plans to acquire software and technology-based educational materials, which are 

usable by students with the widest range of abilities to deliver technology-based 

instructional programs in support of the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards 

The District embraces the belief that all students are capable of learning. Other resources 

provided to afford students with various learning opportunities using technology are Britannica 

Encyclopedia Online and Discovery Education. The emphasis is the effective implementation of 

current programs through the training and coaching of teachers. 

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) deliver clear expectations for all stakeholders, and 

suitable programs will reinforce the probability of greater successes in student learning. Existing 

software/web-based applications in the District are already trending toward meeting the CCSS in 

English and Mathematics. 

Students are as unique and their personal learning styles and teachers recognize the validity of 

instruction that meets the needs of the individual as much as possible. Acquisition of additional 

technology-based materials is based on analysis of the needs of students and adequate funding. 

Following the curriculum adoption process at the state level, instructional materials must adhere 

to the scheduled timeline in the move to increased digital content. District curriculum specialists 

and MITD staff are working jointly as this shift takes place. MITD collaborates with curriculum 

specialists in the process of investigating appropriate instructional software and the required 

hardware systems to run the programs identified by these areas. 

5.3 Timetable for acquisition of grade-appropriate, up-to-date technologies in sufficient 

quantities to accommodate student and staff needs for instruction and assessment 

The District recently completed a large infusion of student computer stations that will 

accommodate student assessment needs at Title I schools (Appendix E: Press Release Computer 

Infusion Plan). The District goal is to provide additional stations by budgeting $2 million 

(District and Title funds) during the current fiscal year. Computers will be reallocated 

appropriately to other schools as needed. 

5.4 Appropriate technology acquisition policies or procedures that address the following areas: 

 

 

 

Consistency and interoperability with existing and planned technology delivery systems 

Upward migration to emerging technology standards, and 

Support and maintenance requirements 

The Purchasing Department maintains standard computer hardware specifications based upon 

recommendations of the Technology Standards Committee. Members of the committee are 

knowledgeable about current and emerging hardware and software systems, and investigate the 

interoperability and consistency of these systems, to the degree possible. Appropriate student 

workstation standards are well established, and revised as needed. For example, standard 

10 


computer configurations for the career and technical education programs are determined by the 

latest software application requirements. 

A tiered approach to technology acquisition for classrooms, implemented in 2008 (Appendix E: 

Re-visioning Classrooms for 21 st Century Learners), is the foundation upon which all learning 

environments are built. The following statistics reveal the progress in achieving the upgrade of 

classrooms thus far: 

2008 2012 

Interactive White Board 403 2450 

Hand held response clicker 132 779 

Document Camera 788 3106 

Audio Enhancement System 472 1255 

Interactive Slate 381 516 

A procedure is in place for acquiring new software and instructional technology materials 

(Appendix E: Software Approval Request, Web Tool Request). School or department 

representatives must submit an application to the Software & Web Tool Evaluation Committee 

for consideration and approval. The committee is responsible for examining the computer system 

and/or network bandwidth requirements of the programs. Proper technical support for programs 

is ascertained, thus reducing the number of identical programs that must be maintained by limited 

technology personnel. 

Computer system hardware/software troubleshooting and maintenance is primarily the 

responsibility of the local school Technology Contact. For escalated hardware, network, and 

infrastructure issues, there are District-level employees in the Information Technology Services 

Department (ITSD) who handle equipment repairs and assignments related to telephones, 

networking and infrastructure. Incident tickets are generated either at the school level or by 

contacting the Help Desk at the District. 

5.5 Provision for technical guidance to school and District personnel responsible for making 

strategic technology related purchasing decisions 

6.0 Access 

MITD, ITSD, and the Purchasing Department are available to provide direction to school-based 

technology personnel, and consult with school-based administrators, bookkeepers and District 

departments. Discussion and planning with the Software & Web Tool Evaluation Committee 

allows for technical guidance in the procurement process. 

The access component of the plan should include, but not be limited to, District policies or 

procedures to address: 

6.1 Equitable access to telecommunications and other technologies to support teaching and 

learning by: 

 

 

Providing for the equitable distribution of resources to support the Next Generation 

Sunshine State Standards 

Providing access for teachers, parents and students to the best teaching practices and 

curriculum resources through technology

Osceola Data Management System (ODMS) provides data research, analysis and reporting to 

all teachers and administrators (Appendix F: Description of Data Systems) 

Local Instruction Improvement System (LIIS) incremental implementation begins in 2013 

The Exceptional Student Education (ESE) Department ensures each exceptional student the most 

appropriate educational setting in the least restrictive environment. Teachers, administrators, 

counselors and parents of exceptional students meet to formulate an Individual Education Plan 

(IEP) annually, and as needed, during the academic year. 

The charter schools receive assistance from the Management Information Services Department to 

upload State mandated student information reports. ITSD supports charter schools during State 

computer-based testing. Charter school administrators receive e-mail accounts provided by the 

District to facilitate communication. 

Full-time, benefitted employees of the School District of Osceola County have a First Class e- 

mail account, which allows for immediate exchanges of information and collaboration. The 

District Help Desk provides password assistance to employees and generates technical incident 

tickets. The Help Desk uses the iHEAT application to view, assign and manage these technical 

service calls for resolution. 

12 


6.2 District acceptable use policy for access to all systems including Internet/World Wide Web 

that: 

 

 

 

Protects the confidentiality of students 

Protects intellectual property rights, licensing agreements and legal/ethical standards 

for sharing of resources with other educational entities and 

Maintains the integrity of systems, programs and information resources 

The School Board has adopted policies for authorized access to network resources and acceptable 

use procedures. The Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is located on the District’s homepage 

(Appendix F: SDOC School Board Rules Network Acceptable Use Policy). 

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. §1232; 34 CFR Part 99) is a 

federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. Florida Statute 1002.22 states 

that education records shall be protected in accordance with FERPA. 

Student education records are confidential and exempt from disclosure except as allowed by law. 

School district employees who have a legitimate educational interest in the student may view 

records, but not release them without written consent. 

Any reports containing student identifying information should be shredded. No student 

information may be sent outside the District e-mail system unless encrypted using secure 

connections. An online course, “Keeping Information Safe”, related to the security of student 

information, is available to all employees. An online employee technology awareness and 

security course is being developed with an expected implementation of July, 2013. 

The Media and Instructional Technology Department promotes best practices related to strict 

adherence to copyright laws. Resources and information are available to educators in the District 

through professional development opportunities, and Library Media Specialists act as local school 

experts to address copyright concerns that arise. 

The Code of Student Conduct has specific disciplinary processes in place for infractions 

involving District computers and/or the District data network and/or unauthorized conduct on the 

Internet (Appendix F: Student Internet Use Procedures). 

To meet the terms of E-rate requirements, effective July 1, 2012, the District implemented an ageappropriate 

Internet safety training program for all students. All schools participate to ensure 

student awareness of Internet safety issues such as cyber bullying, predators and strangers, 

Internet piracy, cyber citizenship, protection of personal information, cell phone safety, chat 

rooms, phishing, viruses, hacking, and web site safety. The training program includes videos 

broadcast during morning announcements, standard computer desktop background with Internet 

safety tips, and web resources linked from the District’s Student Resources webpage. Schools 

may supplement the training program with a District developed online course and other site 

specific activities. 

13 


6.3 A Technology Protection Measure is a specific technology that blocks or filters Internet 

access. It must protect against access by adults and minors to visual depictions that are 

obscene, child pornography, or --with respect to use of computers with Internet access by 

minors-- harmful to minors. It may be disabled for adults engaged in bona fide research or 

other lawful purposes. 

The Osceola School District uses web security and filtering appliances to protect its resources, 

students, and personnel. ITSD personnel configure access permissions based upon user type, and 

assign user rights that regulate Internet activities by blocking or restricting websites as 

appropriate. Employees may make special requests for access, which are evaluated on a case-bycase 

basis by these analysts. 

The District complies with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and the Neighborhood 

CIPA (NCIPA), Protecting Children in the 21 st Century Act. The Media and Instructional 

Technology Department provides, with assistance from E-rate funding, a secure student e-mail 

application. 

7.0 User Support Plan 

The user support plan component should include, but not be limited to: 

7.1 Network management and improved support for end-users in classrooms 

The Information Technology Services Department (ITSD) employs a team of analysts assigned to 

specific tasks that support network operations. The department has four groups: Computer 

Support, Enterprise, Infrastructure and Telephony. 

The Computer Support group coordinates District-wide anti-virus services, large-scale computer 

deployments, support of desktop computers, laptops and printers. This group also provides 

support for computer applications and installation services for local school Technology Contacts 

and District departments via incident tickets assigned by the Help Desk. 

The Enterprise group is responsible for all District-based application servers (installation, support 

and break/fix), security, global user policy management, server related training for local school 

Technology Contacts, server backup functions, and the District’s mass notification services 

management and training. 

The Infrastructure group manages the Local Area Network (LAN) and the Wide Area Network 

(WAN) hardware and software to ensure superior network connectivity, VPN services, firewall 

and proxy servers and wireless infrastructure. 

The Telephony group coordinates the configuration of the VoIP telephone communications 

software, deployment and management of network telecommunications components (fax 

machines, credit card machines, VoIP telephones) and all telephone support. The Help Desk also 

is under the management of the Telephony group. 

Network management tools used to monitor and maintain network security and stability: 

 

Web content filtered through a cluster of three, load balanced Cisco IronPort and firewall 

software/devices, for a total capacity of 900 Mbps, enhances network security and increases 

bandwidth capacity

7.2 Development of District technical support options for equipment maintenance and 

replacement 

Guidelines and procedures related to technical support, equipment maintenance and replacement 

provide clear direction for local school Technology Contacts. Both departments, ITSD and 

MITD, work collaboratively to assess and improve the range of technical support offerings as 

necessary. 

Effective June of 2009, the District entered into a contract with Dell Marketing, L. P. as the 

exclusive provider of computers. Standards include specific system and configuration 

requirements with 5-year warranty coverage. The purchase agreement is effective until June of 

2014. 

 

 

 

 

 

Units under the Dell warranty are managed with the vendor from the local level 

School-based Technology Contact performs Level 1 troubleshooting and escalates to online 

iHEAT system as needed. Technology Contact monitors the repair process. 

Centralized Help Desk prioritizes troubleshooting/repair requests and assigns to correct 

support group using iHEAT program 

Level 2 maintenance provided by the Computer Support group of five technicians within 

ITSD for desktop and computer peripherals at school sites 

Computer repair is performed on-site at the District for units not under warranty 

o Hardware no longer covered by a warranty is assessed 

o If cost to repair exceeds 50% of value, no repair is made, unit is surplus (sold at 

auction) 

o Repair using budget funds 

In preparation for the Florida Innovates Technology Resource Survey, the Media and 

Instructional Technology Department (MITD) conducts an annual District-wide inventory of 

15 


computers. Based upon this survey data, the Technology Equity Committee determines the 

feasibility of replacement or re-allocation of student computers. Needs-based assessments, related 

to mandated student computer-based testing configurations, also contribute to decisions about 

equipment upgrades and/or replacement.

8.0 Professional Development Plan 

A professional development plan should include, but not be limited to: 

8.1 Provisions for increasing the use of technology in the classroom and media center by: 

 

 

 

 

 

Development and acquisition of new programs and software that promote the 

integration of technology into everyday curricular needs 

The integration of technology as a meaningful component within all curriculum training 

District-level coordination of training and support 

Ensuring adequate facilities, instructors, materials, equipment and funding for staff 

development and 

Identification and acquisition of technology-based staff training delivery systems that 

minimize teacher time away from the classroom and delivery of training in the most 

cost-effective manner 

Increasing the use of technology in teaching and learning is the focus of technology professional 

development proposed by the Media and Instructional Technology Department (MITD). MITD 

currently employs four teachers as technology resource specialists. These teachers coordinate 

and conduct training for all staff in the District related to the use of various software applications, 

web-based research databases and hardware devices. Two specialists focus on teaching and 

modeling technology-rich instruction to enhance elementary/secondary curriculum and library 

media services. The other two manage and provide training for the District’s electronic grade 

book program; (Appendix H: Technology Resource Teacher job description). They follow 

Florida’s Professional Development Protocol System and interface as needed to post technology 

in-service opportunities using the online system managed in accordance with the Professional 

Development Master In-Service Plan. Resource teachers provide training or facilitate vendor 

training for classroom teachers to integrate educational tools and web-based resources into the 

curriculum. For example: 

 

 

 

SMART Technologies (SMART Board, SMART Notebook software, SMART Exchange, 

SMART Response) 

Document Camera 

Discovery Education Streaming 

16 


Compass Odyssey 

Britannica Online 

MITD resource teachers design and/or monitor employee online training via various Web 2.0 

tools, such as Edmodo and Moodle. Past courses included the following: 

 

 

 

Introduction to Moodle 

Using PhotoStory 3 for Digital Story Telling 

SMART Response 

Curriculum and Instruction Department resource teachers plan and collaborate with MITD 

resource teachers to assist classroom teachers. They also provide joint training events to model 

best practices in the use of technology with daily instruction. 

Technology training for staff takes place at schools in computer labs and media centers during 

non-student hours, as well as in well-equipped professional development classrooms at MITD. 

Funding for training is provided cooperatively by MITD, and the Special Programs Department 

(Title II, Part A and Title I). 

In an effort to ease the burden of increasing time constraints placed on faculty and staff, the 

District has installed digital transcoders in schools so that more distance learning is available. The 

District is implementing SAFARI Montage Live!, a video-conferencing and training delivery 

system. The project implementation will begin in January, 2013. 

8.2 A list of sources of ongoing training and technical assistance available to teachers and 

administrators served by the District, such as State technology offices, intermediate 

educational support units, regional education training facilities or institutions of higher 

learning. 

Examples of the available sources of ongoing training and technical assistance to Osceola District 

staff include: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

University of South Florida--Center for Excellence (FDE training) 

NASA - Astronauts Memorial Foundation (Technology Training) 

Valencia College 

Technical Educational Center of Osceola (TECO) 

University of Central Florida 

University of West Florida 

North East Florida Educational Consortium (NEFEC) 

Florida Council on Economic Education 

Stetson University 

Florida Diagnostic & Learning Resources System/ Assistive Technology Education Network 

(FDLRS/ATEN) 

Outside trainers (vendor representatives or paid trainers) 

Participation by teachers and library media specialists in selected technology conferences and 

organizational membership affiliations are encouraged, for example: 

 

 

Florida Educational Technology Conference (FETC) 

International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) 

17 


American Library Association Conference (ALA) 

American Association of School Librarians (AASL) 

Florida Council of Instructional Technology Leaders (FCITL)

Florida Association of Supervisors of Media (FASM) 

Florida Association of Educational Data Systems (FAEDS) 

Florida Association of Management Information Systems (FAMIS) 

9.0 Program Evaluation 

The program evaluation component of the plan should include, but not be limited to, a 

description of the process for the ongoing evaluation of how the technologies acquired are: 

9.1 Being integrated into the school curriculum and affecting student achievement and progress 

toward meeting the educational goals of the Sunshine State Standards 

The District personnel, school-based administrators and classroom teachers analyze data to 

evaluate the effectiveness of teaching and learning with instructional technology. Evidence of the 

success of teaching with interactive white boards, handheld response systems and computers 

originates through observations and formative assessments during the learning process. Teachers 

use available technology to organize and assimilate that assessment information into future 

lessons to improve student achievement. Software, web-based applications and hardware provide 

many optional curriculum enhancements for students. The transition from the Next Generation 

Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) gives support 

by aligning core subject matter appropriately with technology elements. Available reporting of 

student data includes, but is not limited to: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Achieve3000 (KidBiz, TeenBiz and Empower) 


District formative assessments 

FCAT Explorer 

PLATO 

Read180 

Renaissance Learning system 

Think Central 

Progress Monitoring and Reporting Network (PMRN) 

Voyager Expanded Learning 

9.2 A description of the process used to facilitate mid-course corrections in response to new 

developments and opportunities as they arise 

Assessments, formative and summative provide the data and statistics that, more than ever before, 

steer the continuous investment in the growth of student achievement in the District. Teachers 

have access to the Osceola Data Management System, an online data repository, for various 

student records (Appendix F: Description of data systems). 

18 


The award of the Race to the Top grant is the centerpiece as the District works to replace the 

multiple, distinct systems with one integrated system, providing new reporting possibilities for all 

stakeholders, to include: 

1. Standards and Curriculum 

2. Instructional Practices 

3. Assessment and Growth 

4. Facilitator Profile 

5. Learner Profile 

6. Analysis and Reporting 

7. Documentation and Support 

8. Data Integration 

9. IT Platform and Security 

The District has adopted the instructional and leadership improvement system developed by Dr. 

Robert Marzano. iObservation is the web-based platform that supports administrators and 

teachers in addressing student achievement gains by examining pedagogical practices. 

Administrators use criteria during observations to assess the teacher’s plan in identifying and 

using available technology, as well as articulating how the technology will enhance student 

learning. This feedback allows a teacher to take action during the academic year, and beyond, to 

improve instruction as needed. 

In the realm of technology, the District uses the tools provided by the State of Florida, which are 

based on the International Society of Technology in Education’s (ISTE) NETS for Students 

(NETS•S) competencies, when possible, to determine the technology literacy of students. 

Teachers, especially in the middle and high school classrooms discover some students have gaps 

in basic technology skills. With the transition to CCSS, the District is evaluating methods to 

improve student technology skills. 

Teachers are strongly encouraged to participate in the Inventory of Teacher Technology Skills 

(ITTS), developed by the Florida Department of Education. Results indicate that there are everpresent 

gaps in basic technology skills of teachers as well. Innovative, visionary leaders seek to 

make the closing of these gaps a focus in order to give to all students the very best education. 

Therefore, the Media and Instructional Technology Department (MITD) resource teachers 

concentrate on training and assisting classroom teachers and library media specialists in the use of 

instructional software applications, technology devices and curriculum integration. MITD 

resource teachers make classroom visits and model best practices to reinforce training so that 

teachers may increase their comfort level in delivering instruction to students. MITD resource 

teachers must update training materials to establish the latest standards for professional 

development related to software applications in order to offer the most current information to 

classroom teachers. They serve as consultants to the Curriculum and Instruction Department 

resource teachers, and provide professional development opportunities in a collaborative learning 

environment. 

School administrators complete the annual Florida Innovates Technology Resources Survey, 

which furnishes them with relevant, current information related to all types of technology in the 

school and use of the technology resources, whether software or hardware. District personnel use 

this data to generate equity reports to inform leadership in making purchasing decisions 

(Appendix C: Sample Florida Innovates School TRS 2012). 

19 


An ongoing challenge is the evaluation of new devices and enhancements in technology resources 

– whether hardware or software. The District Software and Web Tool Evaluation Committee 

functions to review software and web-based tools based on guidelines established after an 

OPPAGA visit ten years ago (Appendix I: OPPAGA Report, Chapter 6: Administrative and 

Instructional Technology).

National Unemployment Update 

Unemployment Unchanged at 7.8 Percent for December 2012 

Related Documents 

January 4, 2013 

Resources 

The unemployment rate for December 2012 was unchanged, at 7.8 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

NCSL Main Unemployment Page 

The Bureau also released revised unemployment figures for 2012, which started the year with an unemployment rate of 8.3 percent in January NCSL Contacts 

2012 and ended the year at 7.8 percent. The year has seen slow but steady improvement in unemployment, both at the national and state level. 

Jeanne Mejeur 

The long-term unemployment situation has also improved. Although 4.8 million workers have been unemployed for 27 weeks or longer, and 

Michael Reed 

accounted for 39.1 percent of the unemployed in December 2012, there has been a significant drop in long-term unemployment in the last two 

years. In December 2010, 6.4 million workers were considered long-term unemployed and they accounted for 44.3 percent of the unemployed. 

Business sectors seeing job growth for the month of December included health care, leisure and hospitality, construction and manufacturing. Employment in other major business remained 

steady, including mining, transportation, financial services, professional and business services, and public employment. 

Unemployment figures for January 2013 will be released on Friday, February 1, 2013.

June 7, 2012 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New "Students In Transition" Computer Program To Provide Learning 

Resources To Children In Need 

Unfortunately in this day and age, students are often the victims of the current economic 

conditions. The Osceola School District has identified more than 2,600 “students in 

transition,” with projections of another 1,500 students who are unidentified. These are 

students who are residing in hotels, motels, campgrounds, cars, parks, emergency or 

transitional shelters, or are "doubled up" with friends or awaiting foster care placement. 

In addition to the struggles of homelessness and often concerns about hunger, these 

students in need lack the additional resources for education most of their classmates 

enjoy. 

To directly benefit students, the Osceola County School Board has approved a new 

"Students in Transition" Computer Program, as developed by Superintendent Terry 

Andrews. The district will now repurpose its surplus computers to be given to students 

in transition. Students from TECO will assist in testing and refurbishing the computers 

for use. These machines will have wireless cards for connection to the internet and 

have a free version of Open Office, a basic word processing suite. Most of the hotels 

and many of the fast food restaurants have free wi-fi connections that these students 

could utilize. 

The computers will then be donated to the Foundation for the Kiwanis Club of 

Kissimmee, Inc, a local 501(3)c civic organization whose mission is to support children 

and education, to assist with the distribution of the computers. This will be done in 

partnership with the district's Homeless Education Liaison in Special Programs. 

"Repurposing these machines to our students in transition will help to level the playing 

field for learning resources in the home," said Superintendent Terry Andrews. "This 

program is a win-win for everyone, especially students. Our TECO students will be 

helping others less fortunate through their service of working on the computers. It also 

involves the community in a greater way through the Kiwanis Club, and, more 

importantly, it puts computers in the hands of children who can really benefit from 

them."

School District of Osceola County, Florida ~ Web Standards 6‐10‐2009 rev. 4 


1. All School or Department Web Pages must reside on, and be hosted by, School District Equipment. 

Under no circumstances can information generated by the School District, and published on a Web 

Server, be contained on unauthorized equipment. 

All School or Department Web Site URLs names will be formatted as www.xxx.osceola.k12.fl.us, and 

xxx.osceola.k12.fl.us where xxx represents the School or Department initials. 

For example, the Web Site URL for Poinciana High School is named www.phs.osceola.k12.fl.us. 

2. Standardization of Web Pages 

Our district, school, and department web sites have been established as a dynamic forum to educate and 

inform the public. It is a means of two-way communication for the purpose of sharing information with the 

Osceola community and the world about the goals, school curriculum and instruction, accomplishments, 

school offerings and activities, and other information relating to our schools and our mission. 

Each department must use the SDOC standardized web template for their pages. 

Schools are granted more flexibility in order to convey their school colors and spirit. 

The opening/homepage for every school and department should contain the following information: 

--school/department name; 

--school/department address; 

--school/department telephone number; 

--school/department fax number; 

--school/department office hours; 

--principal’s or department administrator’s name; 

--at least one contact e-mail address for school/department; 

--grade structure (for schools only); 

--a picture of the front of the school (for schools only); 

--identification as an Osceola School District school (see below); 

--link to the district’s website (see below). Russell Holmes has created a png version of the below 

graphic with a transparent background to eliminate the “white box” around the graphic. This 

looks much better when placed in an area that has a colored background. You can request the 

graphic be emailing holmesr@osceola.k12.fl.us Please specify if you need it for a department or 

school.

Student Achievement - Our Number One Priority 

A proud department of 

The School District of Osceola County, FL (made as link to www.osceola.k12.fl.us) 




In turn, the District Website will contain a list, with appropriate links, to all School and Department 

Websites, serving as a “master list” for all District Websites. 

3. All Web Pages must reflect only educational, technological and community information that affects the 

School or Department. Information not related to the educational process, such as commercial 

endorsements or community information not related to School or Department activities, cannot be posted. 

4. Each Osceola County entity that has a Website may have a section in their site that lists Business 

Partners who are associated with that School or Department. If the Business Partner has a Website, the 

entity may provide a link on the Osceola Website to the Partner’s Website. This will be the limit of 

“advertising” for a Business Partner on an Osceola Website. 

5. Designers of Websites may be identified as the Designer somewhere on the initial home page. The 

identification may list their name and/or logo, and a link may be provided to their email address. Linking to 

a designer’s Website is not allowed. 

6. All Websites must provide a link to the District’s Disclaimer Policy, Network Acceptable Use Policy, and 

the Privacy Statement. This link must be presented on the opening page of the Website. It is 

recommended that Schools link directly to the District posted information so that all links provide the most 

up-to-date information. All page links are listed below. (prevents broken links on your websites) 

The address of the: 

District’s Disclaimer is http://www.osceola.k12.fl.us/pages_2004/Disclaimer.asp 

Network Acceptable Use Policy is http://www.osceola.k12.fl.us/pages_2004/NetworkAccept.asp 

Privacy Statement is http://www.osceola.k12.fl.us/pages_2004/PrivacyStatement.asp 

7. Pages in Websites must not be used as a forum for political or personal philosophy. They can, however 

provide information. 

8. Schools and Departments hosting a Website are responsible for keeping all data on that site current. 

Old, out-of-date information should be “trimmed” regularly, and links to Internet sites outside of our 

network should be checked regularly to be sure they are still active. 

NOTE: The SDOC web site now has search capability. Item 8 is much more important now as 

individuals can search the website and bring up pdf files and other documents. Please check your 

pages and documents on the web to ensure old documents are removed. The web server is not a 

good place to just archive your documents unless these documents are to inform the public and 

have active links to them. Also remember to date / time stamp your documents as this makes it 

easy to reference. 

9. Each Website must have an email link on the first page to their Webmaster or person responsible for 

maintaining all pages. 

10. Concern must be paid to the intellectual property rights of others. Information and graphics shall not 

be placed on a Website without prior approval of the author. If permission is then granted, appropriate 

acknowledgement shall be made. 

11. Signed permission is required for any pictures of students posted on a Website, even pictures that do 

not have identifiable people in them. If student names are to accompany the picture, only first names may 

be used. Additional information regarding a student, for example last name or achievement information, 

may be posted only with the permission of the principal. All reasonable efforts must be made to insure the 



anonymity of any student’s pictures that will appear on the Internet. Signed permission is accomplished 

using the School District’s "Consent and Release for Photography/ Videotaping" form. 

12. No Osceola website shall contain a link to the personal web pages of any Osceola employee. 

13. Adobe DreamWeaver and Contribute are the recommended software programs for updating websites.

bandwidth information from 5 locations within your school. To improve the quality of the data you collect, please collect 

this data from a variety of locations in your school AND at a variety of times (beginning of school day, after students have 

left for the day, etc). 

There are several steps in this process: 

1. Enter a location for each of the five locations you will test in the table below. Each location needs to be unique. You should make note of the 

locations. The labels can be anything you want (e.g. Room 123, Room 214, Station2a, etc), but you will need to re-type these labels to run the 

bandwidth test. Once you have entered labels for each location, press the "Save locations" button. 

2. Go to a computer at each of the locations you identified in step 1. In a web browser, go to http://www.flinnovates.org/survey/BwTest.php . On this 


page, in the upper right hand corner, enter your school code and the location label that you entered that matches the current location and press the 

login button. Press the Start Test button. A series of tests will run. Once the test has finished, complete the other questions on the screen and 

press the save button. The bandwidth information for this location will be collected and stored in your school survey. To review the collected 

information, login to your school survey and go to the Bandwidth Test section, question #22.

FUND 1XX 

GENERAL FUND 


FUND 100 

GENERAL FUND BUDGET 

This budget is often referred to as the “Operating Budget”. 

The major revenue sources for the General Fund are the Florida Education 

Finance Program (FEFP) and local discretionary taxes. Other significant revenue 

sources are Workforce funds, Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten funds, and transfers 

from Capital Projects Funds. 

Appropriations include most of the District’s salaries and benefits, utilities, 

supplies, transportation costs, and other operating expenses. The District has 

more discretion in appropriating General Fund revenues than other funds. 

However, even within the General Fund, much of the revenue is restricted for 

specified purposes (e.g., reading, teacher lead program, school recognition, etc.). 

Fund balances in the General Fund are the District’s reserves against revenue 

shortfalls, emergencies, and other unplanned needs.

BUDGET CONVENTIONS 

2012-13 

Salary Budgets 

Salary budgets include salaries, FICA, retirement, and board insurance contributions for all 

allocated positions. 

Position allocations and salary budgets are controlled by the budget department and cannot be 

changed by schools or departments. There must be an allocated position for anyone to be 

hired and paid. 

The cost per allocated position is based on the actual current salary of the employee assigned 

to that position. The cost of vacant positions is estimated based on the average salaries of 

employees currently filling similar positions. Bus drivers and bus attendants are budgeted at 

average cost per person in the prior year, including overtime. 

Non-Salary Budgets 

Schools are allocated non-salary funds on a per student basis. These are budgeted at the 

school’s discretion to cover non-salary operating costs of the school and may be moved 

between accounts as necessary. Allowable expenses include supplies, equipment, substitutes, 

overtime, travel, repairs, and communications. 

Departments are allocated non-salary funds on a per employee basis. These are budgeted at 

the department’s discretion to cover non-salary operating costs of the department and may be 

moved between accounts as necessary. Allowable expenses include supplies, equipment, 

overtime, travel, and communications. 

Other non-salary budgets are controlled by project number and restricted for designated 

purposes. These budgets are controlled by the Budget Department and cannot be changed by 

schools or departments. Expenses from these budgets are reviewed to ensure that they are for 

the designated purpose. Examples of these non-salary budget items are the Reading 

Categorical, Instructional Materials Categorical, Supplemental Academic Instruction Categorical, 

and Line Items. 


Overtime 

Overtime is recorded in three different categories: 

• Straight overtime for hours worked between the employee’s regularly scheduled hours 

per week (37.5 hours for most employees, 25 hours for bus drivers and attendants) and 

40 hours per week. 

• Extra pay for time worked in a different assignment than the employee’s normal job. 

• Time and one-half overtime for hours worked over 40 hours per week. 

Overtime is normally not included in salary budgets, but is paid from the non-salary allocations 

of schools and departments. The average salary for bus drivers and attendants, however, 

includes overtime and is included in the original salary budget. 

Reimbursements 

Reimbursements frequently occur within the budget when salary or non-salary expenditures 

originally occur in one fund or department and are later charged to another fund or 

department either directly or as an overhead cost allocation. In these cases, reimbursement 

accounts are normally used in the fund or department where the original charge occurred in 

order to maintain tracking of the original cost. Such cost reimbursements would allow the 

gross expenditures in a fund or department to exceed the budget by the amount of the 

expenditures reallocated to other funds or departments. The net expenditures in every fund or 

department will be covered by the appropriations approved by the Board. Reimbursements 

typically occur, for example, in the Transportation Department for field trips charged to 

schools, in the Facilities and Maintenance Departments for costs later charged to capital 

projects, and in other departments for overhead costs allocated to charter schools. 

Restricted Fund Balance 

The unspent balances in federal, state, and local grant programs are restricted by external 

authorities for specific purposes. These are reported as restrictions of beginning fund balance 

and included as carryover appropriations in the current year. 


Assigned Fund Balance 

Unrestricted fund balance in the General Fund is assigned for the following purposes in the 

priority listed. Any remaining fund balance is unassigned. Items 1 and 2 are included as 

carryover appropriations each year. 

1. Assigned for Contract Commitments – The amount needed to pay the balance of 

outstanding purchase orders 

2. Assigned for Carryover Appropriations – The unspent balances in specific programs that 

carry forward due to internal policy rather than external requirements, e.g. facility use 

fees 

3. Assigned for Projected Operating Deficit – To fund the projected operating deficit for 

the next year 

Unassigned Fund Balance 

Unassigned fund balance in the General Fund is allocated for the following purposes in the 

priority listed. 

1. Unassigned – 6% Minimum per Board – Six percent (6%) of the total of revenues and 

incoming transfers in the General Fund per direction of the School Board 

2. Unassigned Fund Balance – All remaining fund balance

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND 


FUND 300 

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND BUDGET 

This fund reports the revenue and expenditures for construction and renovations 

of school buildings and grounds. Funds are accounted for by source and year of 

appropriation. 

Public Education Capital Outlay funds (PECO) are one source of state revenue for 

Capital Projects. These funds are derived from utility taxes throughout the state 

and are allocated by the Legislature each year. PECO funds provide for 

maintenance and renovation of existing facilities and health and safety needs. 

Capital Outlay and Debt Service revenues are derived from motor vehicle license 

tag fees. 

The Board also generates capital revenue by levying capital outlay taxes. By law, 

this tax millage is limited to 1.5 mills and is currently set at the maximum. 

The District also receives impact fees charged against new residential 

construction. 

The District receives a portion of the one-cent infrastructure sales tax levied by 

the county. The excess of these revenues are transferred in from the debt service 

fund after payment of the sales tax bonds. Based on an inter-local agreement the 

District receives 25% of the revenue generated through 2025. 

The majority of funds must be expended on Capital Outlay Projects in accordance 

with State Board Regulations. These regulations require recommendation of a 

school plant survey which must be conducted at least every five years.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUND 


FUND 700 

INTERNAL SERVICE FUND BUDGET 

This fund records the premium revenue and expenditures associated with the 

District’s self-insured group health and life insurance program and casualty insurance 

programs. 

The premium revenue in the Health & Life Insurance Trust Fund is from Board 

contributions for employee coverage, deductions for dependent coverage, and 

contributions by retirees for post-employment coverage. The expenditures of this 

fund are for claims payments, insurance premiums, and professional/technical 

services. 

The District maintains a stand-alone insurance program for workers compensation 

and property casualty. The District is also self-insured for auto and general liability 

risk. All of these are accounted for in a separate casualty internal service fund.

Press Release (English and Spanish) 

June 6, 2012 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Contact: Dana Schafer, Director of Community Relations - Osceola School District -- 

407-870-4007 or 407-908-8811 (cell) 

Elementary Computer Infusion Plan to Add Thousands of Computers 

in Osceola Classrooms 

The Osceola County School Board has approved an aggressive “technology infusion 

plan” for desktop computers at Title I elementary schools in the district. Following the 

April 25 workshop on technology, Superintendent Terry Andrews and staff have been 

working on a plan to exceed 21st Century standards and supplement technology at 

elementary schools and bring about a more timely solution to the concerns about the 

extended online testing requirements and the statutory mandate of increased digital 

delivery of content by 2015. At the workshop, the Board was given the current status of 

elementary schools at approximately 42% of the 2015 goal. Through a partnership 

between the Technology Department, Special Programs, Professional Development, 

and School Support Services Departments, a plan was developed which will bring that 

level to near 100% by fall of 2012. 

Utilizing Title I Federal roll-forward dollars totaling $2.6 million, the district will purchase 

approximately 3,700 new computers which will be installed in Title I elementary schools 

this summer and early in the fall. In addition to replacing outdated technology, it will 

also increase the number of computers in each classroom. To make the dollars spread 

as far as possible, the district will be employing local high school and college students 

over the summer to assist in the installation of the new machines and removal of the old 

ones. The district currently pays a vendor for installation, but by completing the task inhouse 

with high school and college assistants, the district will save over 80% on the 

installation costs. This will allow more dollars to be spent on the purchase of 

technology, help local young people, and put dollars back into Osceola County. 

Older machines that will still support software and operating system specifications may 

be moved to middle and high schools to help address the need for additional computers 

for testing.

Learning Management Systems / Data Management Systems 

The School District of Osceola County 2012 

Note: After an extensive RFP process, the District has selected Public Consulting Group (PCG) 

as the vendor to provide a Local Instructional Improvement System (LIIS). As indicated under each item, some of 

our existing systems listed below will be replaced as a result of the implementation of this new LIIS. 

Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) – The District’s adopted e-learning platform which allows users to 

use activity modules (such as forums, databases and wikis), or to deliver content to students and assess learning 

using assignments and quizzes. 

TERMS Student Information System (SIS) – This is the District’s legacy Student Information System which was 

implemented in 1997. It provides the basic functionality required for managing student data such as demographics, 

attendance, scheduling, grade reporting, and discipline. It is not web-based and lacks some functionality of a modern 

SIS. This system will be phased out and its functionality will be replaced with our new LIIS through PCG. 

Pinnacle Parent Internet Viewer (PIV) - This is a web-based Parent and Student Portal. This system allows 

students and parents to access grade and attendance information on a real-time basis 24 hours a day over the web. 

There are various reports, including a general report card, so that users can get a quick overall picture, or a deeper 

scope. An attendance history is available, as well as a list of upcoming assignments. Parents can see their child's 

performance on individual assignments or view a list of missing assignments. This system will be phased out and its 

functionality will be replaced with our new LIIS through PCG. 

Pinnacle grade book and attendance – This is a web-based grade book and attendance system used by teachers. It 

sends updated attendance data to TERMS SIS on a daily basis. It is also the source of data for the Parent Internet 

Viewer (see above). Teachers are required to record assignments, grades, and attendance (with optional discipline 

recording available). Regular progress reports and report cards are distributed every marking period. Reports are 

available for attendance, demographics, discipline, missing assignments and grades. This system will be phased out 

and its functionality will be replaced with our new LIIS through PCG. 

Pinnacle Principal Viewer – This is used by administrators and teachers to facilitate progress monitoring meetings. 

Reports are available for attendance, demographics, discipline, missing assignments, and grades. All data in this 

system is from the Pinnacle grade book and attendance system mentioned above. This system will be phased out and 

its functionality will be replaced with our new LIIS through PCG. 

Osceola Data Management System (ODMS) – This is the District’s data warehouse system. This system was 

developed and maintained by the District Information Services Department. Data in ODMS is refreshed nightly 

from the TERMS SIS. It is available at every District teachers’ desktop as well as staff and school administrators’ 

desktop. Several reports give multiple years of assessment data, which is available in single-year reports and multiyear 

reports thus enabling users to look for trends and to identify areas of need. Access of the data is available at 

multiple levels. Classroom teachers are allowed to view the students that they currently teach. School-based 

administrators are allowed to view all students at their school. District administrators and designated staff have 

access to district-level data. The ODMS will not be replaced by the new LIIS, but will continue to be used in 

conjunction with it. The reporting will supplement the reports in the new LIIS. 

Data Director - Data Director is an online data management system. It allows educators to combine multiple data 

types over time to maximize reporting. Data Director integrates data from many sources, including: FCAT and exit 

exams, demographic information from our SIS, district-administered tests and daily classroom assessments given by 

teachers. This system will be phased out and its functionality will be replaced with our new LIIS through PCG. 


NETWORK ACCEPTABLE USE 8.60+ 

I. The network system of the District is available for all employees and students of 

the District in order to provide them with equal access to the computing 

resources which serve public education. The network system is an electronic 

highway which connects thousands of computers all over the world and millions 

of individual subscribers. The term network may include electronic mail, 

worldwide Web browsing, or any method of connecting with other computer 

equipment. All personnel having authorization to use the network will have 

access to a variety of information. 

II. 

III. 

Some material on the network might not be considered to be of educational value 

in the context of the school setting. In addition, some material, individual 

contacts, or communications may not be suitable for school-aged children. The 

District views information retrieval from the network in the same capacity as 

information retrieval from reference materials identified by schools. Specifically, 

the District supports information retrieval from the network which enhances the 

research and inquiry of the learner and which faculty and staff direct. The District 

network will filter inappropriate material. At each school, each student’s access 

to use of the network will be under the teacher’s direction and monitored as a 

regular instructional activity. 

The District cannot prevent the possibility that some users may access material 

that is not consistent with the educational mission, goals and policies of the 

District. This is particularly possible since access to the network may be 

obtained at sites other than school. 

IV. The District recognizes the use of social media for communication and e- 

learning; however, only those networks sponsored by the District may be used 

for classroom instruction or school sponsored activities without prior written 

approval of the Superintendent. 

V. At each school and facility owned or operated by the District, in each room where 

computers are present, notices shall be conspicuously posted that state the 

following: 

Users of the network system of the School District of Osceola County 

are responsible for their activity on the network. The School District has 

developed a data network acceptable use policy. All users of the 

network are bound by that policy. Any violation of the policy will result 

in the suspension of access privileges or other disciplinary action, 

including student expulsion and employee dismissal. This notice shall 

also become part of the login process. 


VI. 

The use of the network shall be consistent with the mission, goals, policies, and 

priorities of the District. Successful participation in the network requires that its 

users regard it as a shared resource and that members conduct themselves in a 

responsible, ethical, and legal manner while using the network. 

Any use of the network for illegal, inappropriate, or obscene purposes, or in 

support of such activities, will not be tolerated. For compliance with the 

requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the 

Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), please see procedures entitled 

“Student Internet Use Procedures.” 

Examples of unacceptable uses of the network include, but are not limited to: 

1. Violating the conditions of The Code of Ethics and Principles of Profess 

ional Conduct of the Education Profession of Florida dealing with student’s 

rights to privacy, employee rights to privacy, or violating any other section 

of the Code; 

2. Using, accessing, visiting, downloading, or transmitting inappropriate 

material, messages or images such as pornography, profanity or

Student Internet Use Procedures 

The School District of Osceola County offers Internet and 

network access for students. This document contains the 

procedures for implementing the Data Network Acceptable Use 

Policy (as applicable to students) for student use of the 

internet, amended by the School Board 12/06/05, available at 

www.osceola.k12.fl.us. 

Educational Purpose 

Access to the Internet has been established for a limited 

educational purpose and shall be consistent with the district’s 

curriculum and Sunshine State Standards. The term 

“educational purpose” includes academic activities and career 

development. Access has not been established as a public 

service or a public forum. 

The School District of Osceola County has the right to place 

reasonable restrictions on the material accessed or posted 

through the system. Students are expected to follow the rules 

set forth in the Code of Student Conduct, the Data Network 

Acceptable Use Policy, and the law in their use of the Internet 

and network resources. 

Students may not use the Internet for commercial purposes. 

This means you may not offer, provide, or purchase products 

or services through the Internet using any district resources. 

Student Internet Access 

E-mail is an electronic mail system that allows students to 

communicate one-to-one with people throughout the world. 

Students may only have e-mail, chat room, web cam access, 

or any other forms of direct electronic communications under 

direct supervision of their teacher(s) for specific instructional 

purposes as designated by the school. The District, as 

required by the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), will 

permit only specific authorized e-mail access. 

All students will have access to Internet World Wide Web 

information resources through the classroom, media center, or 

computer lab. 

If approved by administrators, students may contribute to a 

school web page. All content must be pre-approved by the 

appropriate staff. 

Unacceptable Uses 

The following uses of the School District of Osceola County 

Internet access are considered unacceptable: 

Personal Safety 

Students should promptly disclose any messages received that 

are inappropriate or make you feel uncomfortable to a teacher. 

Students will not post personal contact information about 

themselves or other people. Personal contact information 

includes: Student’s full name (First and Last), address, 

telephone numbers, school address, work address, etc. This 

information may not be provided to an individual, organization, 

or company, including web sites that solicit personal 

information. 

Illegal Activities 

Do not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the School 

District of Osceola County network or to any other computer 

system through the Internet or go beyond authorized access. 

This includes attempting to log in through another person’s 

account or access another person’s files. These actions are 

illegal, even if only for the purpose of “browsing”. Do not make 

deliberate attempts to disrupt the computer system or destroy 

data by spreading computer viruses or by any other means. 

These actions are illegal [F.S. 815 Computer-Related Crimes]. 

Do not use the School District network to engage in any illegal 

act, which includes, but is not limited to, arranging for a drug 

sale or the purchase of alcohol, engaging in criminal gang 

activity, threatening the safety of persons, or violating any 

provision of the Code of Student Conduct. 

System Security 

Students are responsible for individual network access and 

must take all reasonable precautions to prevent access by 

others. Under no conditions should a student provide 

passwords to another person. Students will immediately notify 

a teacher or the school’s Technology Coordinator if a possible 

security problem has been identified. Any attempt by a student 

to look or scan for security problems will be construed as an 

illegal attempt to gain access. Students will use District 

approved virus protection software to avoid the inadvertent 

spread of computer virus if files are downloaded. 

Under no circumstances are students permitted to use a 

workstation to gain access to student grades or other private 

student records. 

Students will not load unauthorized software on computers or 

on file servers. Students will not use any equipment or 

software to bypass, destruct, modify, “hack”, or abuse the 

School District of Osceola County network system or disrupt 

the network activities of others. Any student identified as a 

security risk or having a history of problems with computer 

and/or network access may be denied authorization. 

Student owned hardware will not be permitted to connect to the 

district network unless written permission is granted by both 

the school principal and the Information and Technology 

Services Department. Appropriate anti-virus software and 

security software must be activated before network use. 

Inappropriate Language 

Restrictions against inappropriate language apply to public 

messages, private messages, and material posted on Web 

pages. Students will not use obscene, profane, lewd, vulgar, 

rude, threatening, or disrespectful language. Students will not 

harass another person. Harassment, as defined in the Code of 

Student Conduct, is the act of using unwelcome gestures, 

words, or written statements to annoy, demean, denigrate, 

defame, malign, or ridicule another person. Harassment can 

include, but is not limited to, sexual and racial harassment. If a 

student is told by a person to stop sending messages, he or 

she must stop. 

Students shall not post false or defamatory information about a 

person or organization. 

Students shall not forward any message that was sent from 

another person without permission of the original sender of the 

message. Students will not post private information about 

another person. 

Respecting Resource Limits 

Students may use the system only for educational and career 

development activities. Students will not download large files 

unless absolutely necessary. If necessary, students should 

download the file at a time when the system is not being 

heavily used. Students will not post chain letters or engage in 


An Equal Opportunity Agency Page 1 of 2 FC-820-2259 (06/05/06)


Student Internet Use Procedures 

“spamming”. Spamming is sending an annoying or 

unnecessary message to a large number of people. 

Plagiarism and Copyright 

Do not plagiarize works that you find on the Internet. 

Plagiarism is taking the ideas or writings of others and 

presenting them as if they were yours. Respect the rights of 

copyright owners. Copyright infringement occurs when you 

inappropriately reproduce a work that is protected by a 

copyright. If a work contains language that specifies 

appropriate use of that work, follow the expressed 

requirements. Students should request permission from the 

copyright owner. 

Inappropriate Access 

In accordance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act 

(CIPA), all School District of Osceola County web access is 

filtered; however, this does not preclude the possibility that 

inappropriate sites are not blocked. Do not use the School 

District of Osceola County Internet to access material that is 

profane or obscene (pornography), that advocates illegal acts, 

or that advocates violence or discrimination towards other 

people (hate literature). A special exception may be made if 

the purpose of access is to conduct research with instructor 

and district approval. Students shall immediately notify a 

teacher if inappropriate information is mistakenly accessed. 

This will protect students against a claim of intentional violation 

of this policy. Parents or guardians should instruct their 

students if there is additional material that they think would be 

inappropriate to access. The District fully expects that the 

student will follow his or her parent’s/guardian’s instructions in 

this area. 

Student Rights 

Student rights to free speech, as set forth in the Code of 

Student Conduct, also apply to communication on the Internet. 

The School District of Osceola County Internet is considered a 

limited forum similar to a school newspaper, and therefore 

administrators may restrict speech for valid educational 

reasons. However, speech will not be restricted on the basis 

of a disagreement with the opinions a student expresses. 

Enforcement 

Routine maintenance and monitoring of the School District of 

Osceola County Internet and network systems may lead to 

discovery that a student has violated these procedures, the 

School District of Osceola County disciplinary code, or the law. 

The District will cooperate fully with local, state, or federal 

officials in any investigation related to any illegal activities 

conducted on the District’s network. 

Limitation of Liability 

The School District of Osceola County makes no guarantee 

that the function or the services provided by or through the 

District’s network will be error-free or without defect. The 

District will not be responsible for any damage suffered, 

including but not limited to, loss of data or interruptions of 

service. Students are responsible for making a back up copy 

of crucial files. The District is not responsible for the accuracy 

or quality of the information obtained through or stored on the 

network. The District will not be responsible for financial 

obligations arising through the unauthorized use of the network 

as the result of intentional misuse.

Instructional Technology, The School District of Osceola County,

NOTE to parent/guardian regarding requests to 

exempt student from internet access: 

As per the Data Network Acceptable Use policy (J) 

Parent’s/guardian’s may notify the principal, in writing, within 

ten (10) calendar days after receiving the Student Internet 

Use Procedures, if they do not wish their child to access the 

internet. The request for exemption shall expire at the end of 

each school year. The parent/guardian understands that such 

requests will serve to exclude their child from accessing 

valuable educational information via the internet such as FCAT 

practice tests. 

Parent/Guardian requests for denial of student internet access 

must be submitted annually. 

An investigation will be conducted if there is reasonable 

suspicion that a student has violated these procedures, the 

Code of Student Conduct, the Data Network Acceptable Use 

Policy, or the law. The investigation will be reasonable and 

related to the suspected violation. 

Due Process 

School administrators will cooperate fully with local, state, or 

federal officials in any investigation related to any illegal 

activities conducted through the School District of Osceola 

County network access. If the violation also involves a 

violation of the Code of Student Conduct, it will be handled in a 

manner described in that document.

Administrative and 


The Osceola County School District is proactive and inclusive in planning 

and delivering technology services to the community it serves. Both the 

Information Technology and Services Department and the Media and 

Instructional Technology Department make positive contributions to the 

district’s goal of promoting the effective use of technology. However, the 

district’s attempt to provide a technology-rich environment to all students 

districtwide is hindered by an unclear replacement policy and limited 

compliance with districtwide standardization guidelines. Also, the district 

has not developed a strategy to maximize the allocation of technology 

resources or to evaluate the success of targeted technology initiatives by 

systematically analyzing district data. 

Conclusion __________________________________________________ 

The administrative and instructional technology units of the Osceola County School District are the 

Information Technology and Services Department and the Media and Instructional Technology 

Department. Both departments are proactive in delivering technology services to meet district needs. 

Among other accomplishments, the Information Technology and Services Department has facilitated the 

district’s need for connectivity through the expansion of its computer network for email, intranet and 

Internet access and information exchange. Likewise, the Media and Instructional Technology Department 

provides leadership in developing and implementing integration strategies for both schools and district 

curriculum units. As a result of the combined efforts of these two departments the district has acquired 

resources to enhance classroom infrastructure and consistently strives to provide training and technical 

support. Both make a positive contribution to the district’s goal of promoting the effective use of 

technology to improve student achievement. 

Two general areas of improvement are identified in this report. The district’s attempt to standardize 

technology districtwide has been only moderately successful which inhibits equitable distribution of 

modern equipment to Osceola students, increases technical support costs, and diminishes the district’s 

ability to leverage its purchasing power. The district does not systematically analyze available data. 

Analyzing available data will enable the district to develop strategies to measure the effectiveness of 

technology initiatives, to maximize the allocation of limited technology resources, and to target future 

initiatives. These general areas of improvement are discussed in more detail in later sections of this 

report. 

During the course of this review, OPPAGA identified a number of district accomplishments in the area of 

administrative and instructional technology, some of which are included in Exhibit 6-1 below. 

OPPAGA 6-1 


Administrative and Instructional Technology 

Exhibit 6-1 

Notable Accomplishments in the Last Three Years 

• The Osceola County School District’s Five-Year Educational Technology Plan was developed with a clear 

mission in mind: “To promote the effective use of technology to improve student achievement” and to 

“provide a technology-rich environment as a key to relevant education ensuring that all students become 

lifelong learners.” The district solicits input from not only educators and administrators but also from 

parents, business partners and other concerned members of the community. 

• The district has successfully pursued additional technology funding through available grants. In the last 

three years, the district has been awarded $3.7 million for technology proposals it has submitted. These 

include Technology Literacy Challenge Funds, E-rate and other grants, including a Wireless Technology 

Training program grant. 

• In October 2001, the district launched its professional development intranet application. This application 

allows employees to preview and register for scheduled training events on-line, review their individual 

training history, and schedule workshops of their own. The application interfaces with the email system for 

approval of participation in and acceptance of workshop registration. Interviews with staff indicate that the 

system is very much appreciated for the amount of information it provides, its ease of use and for the 

improved accessibility to professional development opportunities provided. 

• The Media and Instructional Technology Department supports the district’s effort to integrate technology 

into the daily lives of educators, students and parents. In the last three years, the department has worked 

closely with the Information and Technology Services Department to provide training and support for 

programs such as Pinnacle Gradebook, Homework web page, Access Osceola, and an on-line web based 

technology-training programs. 

• The Technology and Information Services Department, in partnership with ESE Department, developed a 

computerized browser-based application that enables Resource Compliance Specialists and ESE teachers to 

manage student ESE information via electronic forms. The system has improved ESE processes by 

allowing authorized users to share data, submit requests, enter and validate basic information and the system 

automatically notifies users when responses are required. Users are very pleased with the improved access, 

readability, accuracy, and ease of use. 

• In 1996, the district made the decision to update its administrative systems with an IBM AS 400 system 

running the Total Educational Resource Management System (TERMS) Financial and Student Information 

modules. Through the cooperative efforts of the Information and Technology Services and the Business and 

Fiscal Services departments, the functionality of the system has been successfully implemented and 

continues to expand.

Overview of Chapter Findings __________________________ 

The Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA) reviewed the 

district’s administrative and instructional technology using the Best Financial Management Practices 

(BFMP) adopted by the Commissioner of Education. OPPAGA employed several methodologies to 

develop chapter conclusions and action plans. Initially OPPAGA conducted a preliminary assessment of 

the BFMPs by surveying district level managers. Participants in the preliminary assessment included the 

deputy superintendent for School Operations and Human Resources, the director of Media and 

Instructional Technology, the director of Information Technology Services, the director of Professional 

Development and the coordinator of Accounting and Audit. OPPAGA also conducted a series of on-site 

interviews with district-level managers, school administrators, educators and technical support specialists 

gathering information describing their policies and procedures and collected other information pertaining 

to the best practice indicators. 

6-2 OPPAGA 



The Technology Resources Survey was used to derive information about the availability and distribution 

of technology resources among schools in the district. Other sources used to understand the 

demographics and specific challenges of the district in providing technology services included reports 

from the Florida Department of Education, the Florida Auditor General, and numerous reports and 

documents submitted by the Osceola County School District. 

An overview of chapter findings is presented below. 

Technology Planning 

1. The district takes a proactive, inclusive approach to technology planning by soliciting input from not 

only educators and administrators but also from parents, business partners, and other concerned 

members of the community. (Page 6-11) 

2. The district has a comprehensive Five-Year Educational Technology Plan that provides direction for 

administrative and instructional technology initiatives and each school has a technology plan. 

However, the plans are not specific in defining measurements for evaluating expected outcomes and 

the district has no systematic approach to evaluate the implementation of school technology plans. 

(Page 6-12) 

Effective Support 

3. The district provides support to assist educators in incorporating technology into the curriculum. 

However, the district has no written approach to evaluating technology usage to identify underutilized 

systems and determine whether the benefit of supporting these systems outweighs the costs. 

(Page 6-14) 

4. The district provides technical support for educational and administrative systems in the district. 

However, the district can provide technical support more efficiently if systems are kept current and 

the district standardization guidelines are followed. The district has no written replacement policy. 

(Page-6-17) 

5. The district provides technical support for hardware, software, and infrastructure, but efficiencies can 

be gained by regularly analyzing help desk information to identify where recurring problems exist 

and to share solutions to recurring problems districtwide. (Page 6-21) 


6. The district has a professional development plan that reflects the district’s vision of integrating 

technology to enrich the learning environment and enhance administrative support. (Page 6-23) 

7. The district provides professional development for the instructional technologies. (Page 6-25) 

Appropriate Technology for Performance 

8. The district has a Technology Acquisitions Plan and bases technology acquisitions on instructional 

needs. However, the district should strengthen its processes to better evaluate the effectiveness of 

technology acquisitions on student outcomes. (Page 6-26) 

9. The district bases technology acquisitions on the results of research and planning. (Page 6-27) 

10. The district has established standards for acquiring new programs and digital content that promote the 

integration of technology into everyday curricular needs. (Page 6-30) 

11. The district has a stable and efficient infrastructure. (Page 6-32) 

Appropriate Use of Technology 

12. The district has established and communicated a policy stating appropriate uses of all types of 

technology resources, including computers, video equipment, software, and the Internet. (Page 6-33) 

OPPAGA 6-3 



13. The district supports compliance with the established policy on safe and legal use of technology 

resources. (Page 6-34) 

Management Information Systems 

14. Segregation of Duties. The district segregates duties to reduce the risk that unauthorized transactions 

will be entered and not discovered quickly. (Page 6-35) 

15. User Controls. The district’s user controls ensure authorization prior to processing transactions and 

ensure all output represents authorized and valid transactions. (Page 6-35) 

16. Application Controls. The district’s applications are designed to provide users with reliable data. 

(Page 6-36) 

17. General Controls. The district has established general controls in the areas of access, systems 

development and maintenance, documentation, operations, and physical security to promote the 

proper functioning of the information systems department. (Page 6-37) 

18. The district’s management information systems provide data requested by administrative and 

instructional personnel in a timely and reliable manner. (Page 6-38) 

19. The district has taken steps to minimize the number of independent databases and build interfaces for 

databases that support district objectives but are independent of its centralized computer systems. 

(Page 6-39) 

20. Other Controls. The district has established appropriate controls related to electronic data exchange 

transactions, other transactions processed through electronic media, and image processing systems. 

(Page 6-40) 

Fiscal Impact of Recommendations ____________________ 

The fiscal impact of this chapter’s recommendations will depend upon the course of action the district 

decides to take. We estimate that by systematically standardizing computer acquisitions and replacing a 

fifth of the computers at district schools annually, the district can achieve savings of at least $302,000 in 

technician labor hours over a five-year period. However, we believe additional savings can be achieved 

in the longer term if the district eliminates the costs incurred by storing and disposing of out-of-warranty 

electronic equipment. Exhibit 6-2 summarizes the recommendations made in this chapter that have fiscal 

impact.

The Instructional Media Division provides instructional library/media services and instructional 

technology support programs to coordinate media instructional materials and technology services within 

the school district, also operating the district’s materials centers. The division facilitates the educational 

technology program by coordinating the preparation of the district’s five-year technology plan, delivers 

in-service training, previews educational technology materials for schools, provides technology training 

to school tech contacts, and participates in writing instructional technology grants. In addition, the 

division ensures that the Library/Media Automation Systems and district adopted software systems are 

updated and maintained. The division is also responsible for the maintenance and repair of audio-visual 

and educational broadcasting systems. Printing services also are located within the division. 

Six technology resource specialists assist the director in coordinating the integration of technology into 

curriculum. Technology resource specialists are teachers who help teachers integrate technology into the 

classroom. Technology resource specialists provide assistance to the schools in the implementation of 

technology-based curricula in all subject areas. For example, one technology resource specialist provides 

staff development to teachers in the area of distance learning, while another specializes in training and 

implementing the Pinnacle Grade Book system. 

Technology Department Expenditures 

District expenditures in 2000-2001 for both departments were 1.7% of the total $202,652,257 allocated 

for the General Operating Budget. 1, 2 The expenditures in 2000-2001 for the Media and Instructional 

Technology Department were approximately 0.5% of the General Operating Budget and Information and 

Technology Services expenditures were 1.2 %. Of 403 district staff members at the district office, 19 are 

in the Media and Instructional Technology Department while 41 staff the Information and Technology 

Services Department. 3

One indicator of how well technology is integrated into the curriculum is to identify how students use 

technology. The data submitted by tech contacts at traditional high schools in the 2001-02 Technology 

Resources Survey, indicates that the majority of students enrolled in Osceola high schools are working at 

a level that exceeds the state average in all but the use of presentation software. Refer to Exhibit 6-7.

Having readily available, accessible resources on-site is an essential component to the successful 

implementation of technology initiatives. When resources are spread too thin, access becomes limited. 

When resources are antiquated, maintenance and repair become more costly. Osceola school technology 

specialists support approximately 9,168 computers on-site of which 26% are older or obsolete computers 

still in use, which exceeds the state average of 16%. See Exhibit 6-8.

As part of the annual technology resources survey, schools report the percentage of teachers who fall in 

each of three stages of progress toward technology competency. At Stage 1-Entry, educators are able to 

operate the computer at a basic level. At Stage 2-Adaptation technology is integrated into the classroom 

in support of existing practices and educators are comfortable with a variety of applications. At Stage 3- 

Transformation educators are adept at transferring skills from current technology tools to new ones and 

often act as a resource to others. At this stage, the educators use technology for collaboration, 

communication, research, writing technology-rich lesson plans and designing project-based learning 

activities. Osceola schools report that the majority of their teachers have progressed to Stage 2. See 

Exhibit 6-9.

Technology Planning 

1 The district takes a proactive, inclusive approach to technology 

planning by soliciting input from not only educators and administrators 

but also from parents, business partners and other concerned members 

of the community. 

The inclusive approach to planning has provided a supportive environment in which the 

overall educational and operational goals of district are based on the needs of the 

community it serves. No recommendation. 

Inclusive planning 

In planning for technology initiatives, the District Technology Committee considers the overall needs of 

the district. Each school submits a copy of its updated five-year technology plan for review by the 

committee. The school plan is based on the goals specified in the School Improvement Plan that is 

updated annually by members of the local Strategic Advisory Council. District Technology Committee 

meetings take place regularly to create a continuous process for developing, implementing and updating 

the District Technology Plan. 

In developing the plan, subcommittees have been formed to lend expertise to specific subject areas. 

These committees meet regularly and provide feedback to the board on the assessment and progress of 

technology initiatives. The Networking/WAN Committee examines network issues and the Web/Internet 

Committee determines the appropriate content for school district web development. The E-Mail 

Committee recommends appropriate use of technologies to meet the administrative and instructional 

needs of the district. The Information Steering Committee gathers information to determine the data 

processing needs of the district. Other committees have been formed as needed to study specific issues 

including the Pinnacle Committee, Technology Job Description Committee, FCAT Software Committee, 

Distance Learning, Hardware/Software Minimum Functionality, Teacher Technology In-service and 

Technology Plan Revision Committee. 

OPPAGA 6-11 



2 The district has a comprehensive five-year educational technology plan 

that provides direction for administrative and instructional technology 

initiatives and each school has a technology plan. However, the plans 

are not specific in defining measurements for evaluating expected 

outcomes and the district has no systematic approach to evaluate the 

implementation of school technology plans. 

The board approved district technology plan is compatible with state and federal reporting 

requirements, is comprehensive and updated regularly, and is aligned with the district 

budget. However, it is difficult to ascertain how well objectives are achieved since 

measurements for evaluating expected outcomes are not well defined. 

Reporting requirements 

According to the Auditor General’s report state reporting requirements have been met. 4 In addition, the 

district has been proficient in planning for E-rate and Technology Literacy Challenge Funds as they have 

been awarded funds for their technology initiatives every year for the last three years. 5 

Comprehensive planning 

Planning is comprehensive and the district implements strategies to achieve the objectives in five-year 

technology plan by assigning responsibilities to separate committees. Through the committee process, 

several plans have been developed that contain guidelines for the strategies that are employed to fulfill 

district objectives. Among them are the Technology Acquisition Plan, the district Network Configuration 

Plan, and the Minimal Functionality Plan. Committee member recommendations consider fall computer 

surveys and strategies that support the district goals. The User Support Plan provides a proactive 

approach to keeping pace with repair, training and other support needs for hardware and software 

acquisitions. The Staff Training Plan describes the strategies to be employed to promote staff 

development that includes in-house and contracted training opportunities, distance learning, web courses 

and training seminars and conferences. 

Budget is aligned with objectives 

Although the budget crisis this year required adjustments to planned spending, technology plans remained 

aligned with district objectives. The district has a procedure in place to update the technology plan. The 

Technology Plan Revision Committee identifies the person(s) responsible for taking recommendations 

made by the technology committees and updating the technology plan accordingly. 

Improvement is needed in measuring outcomes 

Although the planning process is comprehensive, it is difficult to evaluate how well objectives are being 

met and at what cost. By defining measurements that can be used to determine the level of success in 

attaining the goals set forth in the plan, the district can determine how well the strategies it employs are 

achieving objectives. Although school technology plans are reviewed in developing the district 

technology plan, the implementation of school technology plans is not systematically evaluated resulting 

in unmet technology objectives becoming continuously postponed resulting in a higher ratio of out-ofwarranty 

equipment that result in increased support costs and inequities in the distribution of new 

equipment throughout the district.

Develop a systematic approach for evaluating school technology plans to ensure the 

objectives are being met and that district standardization policies are being adhered to. 

Strategy 

The district should create a task force to define the criteria for evaluating the 

effectiveness of principals in meeting objectives and adhering to district standardization. 

Action Needed Step 1: Create a task force to define the evaluation criteria and process. 

Step 2: The task force review past school technology plans to get a sense of what 

percentage of planned objectives are being met and how closely school 

technology objectives are aligned with district goals. 

Step 3: The task force should develop guidelines to identify a reasonable standard by 

which school technology plans should be evaluated. 

Step 4: Develop a proposal to recommend that the evaluation criteria be incorporated 

into the current principal evaluations to provide incentive for plans to be 

monitored regularly. 

Step 5: The District Technology Committee should review and refine the 

recommendations and then take the necessary steps to incorporate it as Board 

Policy.

Effective Support 

3 The district provides support to assist educators in incorporating 

technology into the curriculum. However, the district has no approach 

to evaluating technology usage to identify underutilized systems and 

determine whether the benefit of supporting these systems outweighs 

the costs. 

The district provides support for the integration of instructional technology into 

curriculum however underutilized systems take up facility space, add overhead and 

increase support costs. 

Districtwide support 

The Media and Instructional Technology Department district staff provides training and support to 

coordinate the integration of instructional technology into the curriculum. Besides developing and 

conducting training sessions to incorporate technology into the curriculum, technology resource 

specialists instruct and assist in the classroom, answer support calls, and provide school-based technology 

guidance focusing on instructional services. Instructional support services are prioritized according to 

need. Service requests considered emergencies are handled first. Emergencies are defined as a program 

being down so that students are unable to work. Other requests such as program updates, assistance with 

backup, and the configuration of new clients are assigned to technicians and completed as time permits. 

On-Site instructional technology support 

Most schools in Osceola have at least one technology contact on site to assist with the effort to integrate 

technology into classroom activities. To assist tech contacts, district staff meet regularly with them 

providing support and training for instructional technology integration as well as tips on troubleshooting 

equipment and repair. However, technology specialists can spend more time supporting the integration of 

instructional technology into the curriculum if they do not have to handle the maintenance and repair 

issues that result from keeping outdated systems in the inventory. 

Assessment of software inventory is needed 

Another factor the district should consider in providing effective support to schools is the number of 

applications being supported. The larger the number supported, the higher the overhead costs. Although 

reducing the number of supported packages will reduce the support costs, it is also important to provide 

the appropriate level of support to proven applications. Without regularly assessing the relative 

effectiveness of specific applications on student achievement, it is difficult to determine where support 

should be focused. 

Although schools have the authority to purchase software that is not recommended or supported by 

district staff, the Instructional Media Division staff is available to assist schools in evaluating, purchasing,

installing and implementing new instructional materials. Currently, the district supports a wide variety of 

software applications. Please refer to Exhibit 6-10.

According to the 2001 Technology Resources Survey, other software supported by schools in the include 

Carnegie Cognitive Tutor, Cornerstone/SkillsBank, Ellis, Lightspan, Magellan, Math Keys, Nova Net, 

Reading Counts, Riverdeep, and Sequoyah. 

Providing support for too many software applications can be a costly burden to the district, and 

purchasing licenses for applications that are underutilized is costly. Cost savings can be realized by 

evaluating the use and effectiveness of these applications. The focus of the evaluation should be in how 

well the application meets district performance goals. The district should then focus its limited resources 

on supporting only those packages that best meet performance expectations. 

On average, over the last four years, the district has spent an average of approximately $681,000 per year 

on software. 6 We believe the district can cut costs as much as 5% by systematically evaluating and 

analyzing the usage of currently supported software so that less effective and underutilized applications 

are eliminated from the inventory, thereby ensuring that the number of licenses and level of third party 

support is appropriate. 

Asset management-technology resources 

Tracking the utilization of technology resources is beneficial because the overhead of housing and 

maintaining underutilized technology resources is costly. The opportunity cost of keeping underutilized 

hardware exists because the space that underutilized hardware takes up could be freed for classroom use 

and storage. Asset management applications exist to track the utilization of technology resources but the 

successful implementation of the application often depends on the level of standardization. Because asset 

management applications track utilization of resources running under the same operating system, the first 

step is to meet standardization goals. When considering the purchase of an asset management 

application, the purchase price of the application should be offset with the value of the man hours saved

4 The district provides technical support for educational and 

administrative systems in the district. However, the district can provide 

technical support more efficiently if systems are kept current and the 

district standardization guidelines are followed. The district has no 

written replacement policy. 

Because schools are pleased with the level of technical support the district provides, there is 

little incentive for schools with shrinking budgets to keep local systems current. The 

overhead of maintaining and repairing outdated systems is borne by district support staff 

and the students attending schools that do not keep technology inventories current must 

use outdated equipment. 

Technical support costs for out of warranty computers 

Because all computers are purchased with a three-year warranty, technical support for new computers is 

minimal, but troubleshooting problems associated with computers that are no longer under warranty 

becomes the responsibility of the district. As the number of out-of-warranty computers increases so do 

district technical support costs. Exhibit 6-11 shows the percentage of older or obsolete computers still in 

use in the district. The percentage varies by school ranging from 54% at Ventura Elementary to none at 

several schools in the district.

Cost savings can be realized when standardization is achieved and older/obsolete computers are replaced 

on a regular cycle. Standardization guarantees that the amount of time it takes to troubleshoot problems is 

reduced because systems are compatible, networks run more efficiently because operating systems are 

current, and training costs for support staff are minimized. In addition, by providing guidelines for the 

equipment replacement cycle, the district lessens the burden for schools to synchronize budgets and 

upgrades with districtwide initiatives and it allows the district to leverage its purchasing power more 

effectively. 

Replacement policy needed 

By developing a replacement policy that systematically replaces older, out-of-warranty computers, the 

district benefits in several ways. By improving compliance with standardization guidelines and by 

eliminating out-of-warranty computers, cost savings can be realized by reducing the number of hours 

required for technicians to maintain and repair computers allowing on-site technicians more time to focus 

on integrating technology into the curriculum. Additionally, the district can ensure that equity in the 

distribution of modern technology is maintained and that new technology is available to all students 

districtwide. Moreover, the district can leverage its purchasing power by negotiating large volume 

acquisitions of standardized equipment around a regular purchasing cycle and thereby take advantage of 

volume discounts. 

6-18 OPPAGA 



Reduces technical support costs 

Developing and implementing a replacement policy that complies with district standardization guidelines 

and replaces the most costly technology resources first will offset a portion of the expense by reducing 

support costs. The costs associated with the maintenance and repair of older, out-of-warranty computers 

are discussed in Section 2 of this report. We estimate that 1,200 technician hours per year can be gained 

by reducing the number of out-of-warranty computers by 20% each year. This is derived in part from the 

analysis that is done in Section 5 of the help desk log that clearly shows that the majority of calls are 

made to the computer support group for computer repair. See Exhibits 6-12 and 6-13. See Exhibit 6-15 

for the savings analysis. 

Increases equity 

Defining guidelines for when to replace technology resources, the district can assist in keeping 

technology inventories at the school current ensuring that students are provided with an equal opportunity 

to use the newest equipment available regardless of the school they attend. Exhibit 11 illustrates that 

currently the schools in the district vary greatly in the percentage of older/obsolete computers that are still 

in use at their school. While some schools embrace technology, others struggle to keep pace. Because 

the district staff is required to keep pace with technology, it is in a better position to provide guidance to 

the schools and in so doing freeing school staff to focus on instruction. 

Leverages purchasing power 

The district is also in a better position than individual schools to leverage its purchasing power by 

negotiating large volume acquisitions of standardized equipment around a regular purchasing cycle and 

thereby take advantage of volume discounts. In some larger districts, volume discounts of 10% to 25% 

have been given. Agreements have been made with vendors to include delivery, installation, extended 

warranties, training and technical support. Although Osceola is a medium-sized district, we believe that 

volume discounts can be negotiated with technology vendors that will realize savings. In the last four 

years, the Osceola County School District has purchased annually an average of $3 million in computer 

hardware. 7 If a 5% volume discount could be negotiated, it would amount to more than $150,000 per 

year in cost savings. 

In defining the replacement cycle the district should consider several factors. The district should identify 

where the oldest computers are located and assign those locations a higher priority for replacement. 

Simultaneously, the relative cost of the support provided at each school should also be considered to 

reduce the number of the highest cost support locations. Growth of the student population at each school 

is a consideration because the district’s standard for an acceptable student to computer ratio should be 

maintained. And finally, the assessment of the utilization of existing systems should be considered, so 

that underutilized resources need not be replaced and high demand resources can be added. 

Advantages of supporting multiple versions of network operating systems 

There are several advantages in keeping operating system versions uniform. The amount of time it takes 

to troubleshoot network problems is reduced because compatibility is guaranteed, networks run more 

efficiently if operating systems are kept current, the district can leverage its purchasing power in buying 

upgrades, and training requirements for support staff is minimized. By making the district responsible for 

network operating system upgrades, it also lessens the burden for schools to synchronize budgets and 

upgrades with districtwide initiatives. Currently the district supports multiple versions of network and PC 

operating systems. Developing and implementing a plan to provide uniformity in operating systems will 

reduce the cost of network support, leverage the district’s purchasing power, and improve network 

efficiency.

OPPAGA 6-19 



Providing uniformity to local networks at the school level will enable the district to develop procedures to 

“push” upgrades, like new virus signatures to LAN servers and to implement an asset management system 

to track the utilization of technology resources. In so doing, the district will be in a better position to 

allocate technology resources most efficiently. 


• We recommend that the district develop and implement a computer replacement policy that 

will distribute technology resources equitably districtwide, reduce the costs of supporting 

older, out-of-warranty computers and leverage the district’s purchasing power.

5 The district provides technical support for hardware, software, and 

infrastructure but cost efficiencies can be gained by regularly analyzing 

the help desk information to identify where recurring problems exist 

and to share solutions to recurring problems districtwide. 

The district has not developed a process for regularly analyzing help desk data to identify 

high cost support locations. 

The district uses the HEAT application to assist the district in solving technical problems. When calls 

come into the help desk they are logged into the HEAT system, are routed to the appropriate IT service 

manager, and are prioritized and assigned to a specific individual for service. Reports for analysis are 

created through the Crystal Reports application. A summary of the calls received through HEAT between 

July 1, 2001, and March 31, 2002, indicate that 49% of all calls were made to the computer support 

group, of which 42% of all calls to the computer support group were for computer repair. Refer to

The relatively high number of calls for computer repair services is one indicator that the district has too 

many older or obsolete computers still in use. Developing reports and automatic processes to analyze 

technical support costs and services provides a management tool to IT supervisors enabling them to focus 

their resources appropriately. Reports should be geared toward identifying where recurring problems 

exist and determining the best solution for resolving the problem. Priority should be given to areas where 

support costs are greatest. In the future, the district should consider web enabling the application, which 

would provide users with a new level of service by allowing them to enter requests and questions, check 

the status of work orders, and share solutions to common problems on-line.

data to identify and reduce high cost locations, to share solutions to recurring technical 

problems, to enter requests for service, and check the status of work orders.

6 The district has a professional development plan that reflects the 

district’s vision of integrating technology to enrich the learning 

environment and enhance administrative support. 

The Professional Development Department has a proactive approach to modernizing and 

expanding access to the many and varied training opportunities offered by the district. No 

recommendation. 

Training needs assessment 

In order to determine what types of training to offer, the Professional Development Department assesses 

the training needs of the district by analyzing information from a variety of sources. The department 

annually conducts a needs assessment of all employees. The results of the needs assessment are shared 

with the Instructional Technology department as well as the school board, the superintendent and 

leadership team, affected administrative departments, and professional development advisory bodies. 

The department also examines the training sections of each School Improvement Plan, obtains input from 

the Professional Development Council (instructional representatives from each site plus Osceola 

university partners), the Professional Support In-service Committee (non-instructional representatives) 

and from the District Professional Development Advisory Group (business and university partners). In 

addition, the department also focuses on districtwide projects such as Pinnacle, Compass, Reading, 

Writing, FCAT and others. Districtwide projects may emanate from Instructional Programs, Instructional 

Technology, Title I, or ESE. Funding for these programs is determined by project constraints or grant 

guidelines. 

The analysis of the districts training needs is used to develop the Staff Training Plan. The Staff Training 

Plan describes the strategies employed to promote staff development that include in-house and contracted 

training opportunities, distance learning, web courses, and training seminars and conferences. 

Service delivery 

In October 2001, the district launched its professional development intranet application that allows 

employees to preview and register for scheduled training opportunities on-line. The intranet application 

also allows employees to review their 10-year training history. Interviews with district staff indicate that 

the system has been very much appreciated for the amount of information it provides, its ease of use and 

accessibility. 

OPPAGA 6-23 



Additional benefits of implementing the professional development application include the automatic 

processing of training requests, an increased demand for email and the increased use of technology by 

district employees, and a significant reduction in paperwork. 

Technology training 

More than 700 workshops were available and advertised on the intranet for employees as of October 15, 

2001, for the school year 2001-2002. The district provides a variety of training opportunities in

Challenges in Meeting Demand for Professional Development Services 

The challenges faced by the Professional Development Department in meeting the demand for services 

are often a function of time. The instructional day provides little release time for instructional personnel 

and no substitute program for non-instructional personnel to attend training; additionally, the calendar has 

only one in-service day. This requires that the majority of training occur outside the instructional day. 

With the demands of ESOL training and other mandatory training, it creates scheduling concerns for 

many employees. The department has begun to add on-line training programs to provide more access; 

6-24 OPPAGA 



however, on-line coursework has in both the business and educational arenas a very low completion rate 

(about 30% according to industry reports last year). Most of our employees still prefer the face-to-face 

contact that real-time workshops provide. 

7 The district offers support and training opportunities for instructional 

technology. 

Through district, state and grant funding, the Instructional and Media Services 

department provides training and support for instructional applications like integrated 

learning systems (ILS), instructional coursework for drill and practice and library services 

such as cataloging and circulation. No Recommendation. 

Service delivery 

The Media and Instructional Technology Department is integral in providing training and support for 

integrating technology into the classroom. Six Technology Resource specialists and an Instruction 

Technology trainer provide training and support for Integrated Learning System applications, 

instructional coursework and for the Pinnacle application. Refer to Exhibit 6-7 for a list of the 

instructional technology applications supported by the department. Other applications supported by the 

department include Ocseola Access and public TV access that entails coordinating programming and 

student access among 29 schools. The department uses a variety of in-house as well as outside resources 

for all aspects of training. Media and Instructional Technology Resources specialists provide training 

sessions in classrooms, on-site at the schools, as well as on-line and in workshops. 

Instructional technology proficiency 

The district encourages professional development in instructional technology requiring all administrative 

candidates to demonstrate a minimum level of technical proficiency before being accepted into the 

program. Also, as required by s. 231.29, Florida Statutes, all instructional personnel are assessed 

annually on the use of technology in their classrooms. Our analysis of the 2001 Technology Resources 

Survey indicates that Osceola reported that all educators are able to operate the computer at a basic level, 

56% are able to integrate technology into the classroom in support of existing practices, often requiring 

students to use technology to complete assignments, and 16% are also adept at transferring skills from 

current technology tools to new ones, using technology for collaboration, communication, and research. 

The district is on par with state averages. See Exhibit 6-9.

Appropriate Technology for Performance 

8 The district has a Technology Acquisition Plan and bases technology 

acquisitions on instructional needs. However, the district should 

strengthen its processes to better evaluate the effectiveness of technology 

acquisitions on student outcomes. 

The District Technology Committee develops a strategy that supports the district’s 

mission-vision statement and is based on instructional need, but lacks a systematic 

approach to evaluating the effectiveness of technology initiatives. 

Acquisitions are based on needs assessment 

The board has established a Five-Year Capital Outlay Technology Budget and an annual Public School 

Technology Fund Budget. The District Technology Committee is charged with recommending the 

expenditures that appear in the budgets. The District Technology Committee considers all of the needs of 

the district in making the recommendations. By reviewing school improvement plans which include 

technology plans, by analyzing the results of the fall technology surveys, and evaluating technology needs 

assessment instruments, the committee submits a budget that supports the district’s mission-vision 

statement and is based on instructional need. 

Instructional material acquisitions are aligned with Sunshine State Standards and benchmarks and are 

used in lab settings as well as in the classroom. Recently the district formed a committee to recommend 

the acquisition of a system to be used for improving FCAT performance. After thoroughly evaluating 

several packages the committee decided on the Compass Learning system. The implementation plan was 

based on need, starting with the elementary schools with the lowest grade of “D.” By developing a 

method for evaluating the effectiveness of the technology purchased for this purpose the district will be 

able to justify the expansion of the program. 

Strategy needed to evaluate effectiveness 

Although the district has made several major technology purchases in the last five years, there is no 

evidence to suggest that the district conducts regular, systematic reviews of major technology decisions to 

evaluate the effectiveness of the purchase on expected student achievement outcomes. By reviewing the 

decision and evaluating its cost effectiveness the district can gain insight regarding the strategies it uses in 

achieving its goal to improve student academic performance.

Requested software and instructional technology materials are selected for evaluation by the members of 

the District Instructional Technology Contacts Committee or one of the curriculum resource teachers 

from the Media and Instructional Technology Department. The evaluation entails accumulating 

information from a variety of sources about the product including current users. The Information and 

Technology Services also assists in determining the compatibility of new products with currently 

supported systems and ensures that technology acquisitions decisions are based on district and state 

standards. 

Technology purchases are ordinarily budgeted expenses. The main sources of non-recurring funds used 

specifically for technology are Public Technology Funds, Technology Literacy Challenge Funds and E- 

rate. District funds are available for capital improvements, the Instructional Media and Technology 

Department, the Information and Technology Services Department including network support. Targeted 

grants also provide funding for specific projects. For example, the Technical Education Center of 

Osceola (TECO) received a grant for a Wireless Communications training program. Also, through Title I, 

federal funds are received to improve access to technology in schools where communities need funding 

assistance. The district uses strategies to leverage its purchasing power through volume buying, as much 

as possible. Annual expenditures are tracked and have been reviewed by the Auditor General’s Office. 

Other acquisition considerations 

Although the district makes computer agreements that take into consideration price, warranty options, 

training alternatives, and standardization guidelines, it should also consider the costs of maintaining and 

staffing a repair facility to service out-of-warranty equipment, the labor involved in disposing of and 

OPPAGA 6-27 



tracking the inventory, and the opportunity costs of using facility space that is taken up by the storage of 

spare parts and surplus that could be freed for alternative use. By implementing a policy that consistently 

budgets for replacing old technology with new, the district can rotate older equipment out of the 

inventory. Such a strategy reduces the total cost of ownership and also ensures that all students have 

access to modern equipment regardless of what school they attend. 

Costs of disposal 

Because the district currently owns most of the electronic equipment used at the schools, a system for 

disposing of surplus computer equipment is established. Typically, when a computer is no longer useful, 

it is cannibalized for parts by the school technicians and the district warehouse crew is called to pick up 

the remains. The school stores no-longer-useful equipment on site until the district picks it up for 

disposal. The equipment that is to be disposed of is stored in the district warehouse. Where it is placed 

on palettes, wrapped and delivered for auction. Auctions occur once or twice a year. The district 

estimates that net disposal cost after auction is between $17 and $19 per computer and in our model we 

assume that the district currently disposes of 1,000 computers per year. Transporting the disposal items is 

an additional annual cost, approximately $5,000. We estimate the total cost of disposing of 2,000 surplus 

computers per year amounts to approximately $43,000. In addition, the estimated cost of the facility 

space consumed by storing surplus computer equipment is approximately $9,275 per year. 

Costs of maintaining aged computers 

The cost of repair and maintenance diminishes as the number of computers that are under warranty 

increases. According to the 2001 Technology Resources Survey 26% of the 9,168 computers at district 

schools are older and out-of-warranty. If the district acquired 2,000 computers a year, it could replace 

one-fifth of the schools’ oldest computers each year. Currently, the district spends approximately 6,000 

hours a year maintaining and repairing the district’s aging computer inventory, resulting in an average 

annual expenditure of $108,000. 8 We assume then, that replacing 2,000 computers a year with systems 

that fall within the district standardization guidelines, this expenditure can be reduced by one-fifth each 

year over a four-year period as the oldest computers are replaced with new ones. This reduces the 6,000 

hours currently required annually to repair and maintain computers to 1,200 per year within four years. 

Lease vs. purchase 

There are two clear advantages to leasing computers. One of the major advantages is to eliminate the 

costs associated with the disposal of computers owned by the district. Another advantage is that facility 

space used to store surplus computer equipment could be used for other purposes such as freeing up 

classroom space or generating revenue, if the district decided to rent the additional warehouse storage 

space. Information provided by the district is used in Exhibit 6-15 illustrates the savings that can be 

achieved by avoiding ownership. 9 Assuming that the price of leasing 2,000 computers with a five-year 

warranty is equivalent to purchasing 2,000 computers with a five-year warranty, we estimate that the 

savings of a pursuing a leasing strategy can save the district $222,025 over a five-year period. However, 

annual cost savings are almost doubled in Year 6 when the district no longer owns any computer 

equipment to surplus. 

8 

This calculation is based on three repair technicians working 2,000 hours a year at approximately $18 an hour. 

9 

The cost of administering the leasing agreements are not quantified in this estimate but should be considered when negotiating any agreement.

Technician labor hour savings 

Exhibit 6-15 demonstrates that the savings realized by replacing and standardizing the district’s oldest 

computers increases each year for the first four years. In our model we replace one-fifth of the computers 

each year, replacing the oldest ones first, which decreases the number of hours required to maintain and 

repair them by one-fifth, or by 1,200 hours. So each year we estimate that the cost savings are an 

additional 1,200 hours * $18 an hour as the oldest computers are replaced. We assume that in the fourth 

year the district realizes the maximum savings, estimating that 1,200 hours per year will be required to 

administer and monitor warranty activity. We assume that if the district adopted the strategy described in 

this model, savings are realized in technician labor hours regardless of the strategy used to acquire the 

equipment, either by purchasing or leasing. 

Disposal labor hour savings 

Currently, we estimate that the district warehouses and disposes of electronic equipment equivalent to 

approximately 1,000 computers annually at a net cost of $19 per computer. In this model we assume that 

an additional 1,000 computers are handled each year until the inventory is completely replaced. This 

amounts to additional disposal costs of approximately $19,000 per year until Year 6. In Year 6, the 

district realizes $38,000 in savings from no longer having to handle the 2,000 surplus computers and an 

additional $5,000 from no longer having to rent trucks for moving the surplus, resulting in total savings of 

$43,000 per year, after Year 5. 

Facility space savings 

The facility space saved includes warehouse space of approximately 1,920 square feet at $1.25 per square 

foot, repair shop space of approximately 500 square feet at $1.75 per square foot, and storage space at 30 

schools of approximately 100 square feet at $2 per square foot. In our model, we assume that savings in 

the first year is a wash, as there will still be repair space needed while the savings from the freed school 

space neutralizes costs of the still needed warehouse space. We estimate that incremental savings are 

realized from Year 2 on, when the storage space needed to house one-fifth of the surplus from the 

previous year is freed. The savings is maximized and remains constant after Year 6. 

OPPAGA 6-29 



Total facility space and disposal labor savings 

By adding together the facility space savings and the disposal labor savings per year, we conservatively 

estimate that the leasing strategy will not reap substantial savings until Year 6 when the district no longer 

has to store and dispose of out-of-warranty computers. However, we estimate that the district will save 

over $52,000 annually thereafter by freeing facility space and reducing the hours of labor involved in 

storing and disposing of out of service electronic equipment.

Strategy 

The superintendent should create a task force to determine the best strategy for 

procuring computer equipment and should assess disposal costs in the district 

procurement process. 

Action Needed Step 1: The task force should analyze the issues relating to the assessment of disposal 

costs and present their findings to the District Technology Committee. 

Step 2: The District Technology Committee should review and refine the proposed 

policy and then take the necessary steps to incorporate it as Board policy.

10The district has established standards for acquiring new programs and 

digital content that promote the integration of technology into everyday 

curricular needs. 

To effectively integrate technology into the learning and teaching process the district 

strives to provide sufficient equipment and resources to each classroom. The district 

provides access to technologies as appropriate. 

District provides standardization guidelines 

Having realized that standardization allows the district to purchase and maintain technology more cost 

effectively, the district developed a Minimum Functionality Plan that specifies the standards for 

purchasing hardware and digital content for administrative and instructional use. Administrative software 

is standardized on Microsoft Word and Excel, Excelsior Pinnacle Gradebook, and First Class Email. The 

Total Educational Resource Management System (TERMs) application is used for finance (HR/Payroll) 

and Student records. Follett Circulation Plus is the standard for library automation and through the 

Internet the district provides links to Florida Department of Education Educational Software Catalog, 

6-30 OPPAGA 



which recommends applications based on its alignment with Sunshine State Standards and grade level 

benchmarks. 

Technology resources vary widely by school 

The district allocates approximately 1-5% of the capital outlay budget for technology acquisitions, the 

District Technology Committee recommends how Public Technology Funds should be distributed, and 

the board approves the recommendation. In 1999-2000, Public School Technology Fund represented 

approximately 40% of the total instructional technology budget. Elementary schools received 

approximately 28% of these funds, middle schools 21% and high schools 51%. Exhibit 6-11 shows that 

schools at all grade levels vary in the technology resources available to students. In talking with school 

stakeholders during our public forums we found that there was some concern about the equity of 

technology among schools in the district. The expenditure and resource availability substantiates the 

concern. 

Business partnerships encouraged 

The district encourages schools to partner with outside sources in developing and delivering instructional 

applications and infrastructures. Currently IT training partnerships exist in 7 different schools in the 

district. See Exhibit 6-16. Although partnerships are encouraged and a few programs exist, the number 

of students participating is relatively small and there is no follow up to determine if the students who 

participated are benefiting by getting hired after graduation in Information Technology (IT) fields or by 

pursuing advanced training. These programs should be evaluated based on their objective and their 

desired outcome.

District supports schools in technology decisions 

Through the network, educators can visit websites on the Internet, or through vendor demonstrations, 

professional development offerings and pilot programs, they have opportunities to preview new

technologies and be exposed to new ways of integrating technology in the classroom. The Media and 

Instructional Technology Department works closely with educators who request technology assistance in 

evaluating and recommending appropriate technology for the acquisition of digital content and hardware. 


• The district should develop measures to evaluate the effectiveness of the IT partnership 

training programs. (See previous recommendation Action Plan 6.7) 

11The district has a stable and efficient infrastructure. 

The network is an integral part of daily life at each school, connecting staff, students and 

administrators within the school and throughout the district. Each school has a local area 

network that is primarily used to distribute information, access application software, and 

store data. Individual schools are connected to the districtwide area network that provides 

access to the Internet, the district-managed intranet, and authorized district applications. 

Site visits and interviews with school and district staff indicate that district network 

support is responsive and that network downtime is minimal. No recommendation. 

The district has a wide area network that is supported by the Networking and Computer Support group. It 

provides network and server support for operational programs like email, web development, data 

synchronization, maintains district server backups, checks for viruses, filters inappropriate web sites and 

monitors network usage. In addition this group provides network and desktop support to all technical 

support staff in the district. 

Speed and access standards exist for all computers linked to the network. Schools are primarily 

connected directly to the district wide area network (WAN) through T1 lines except the majority of 

charter schools and other remote sites which are connected at 56K. A DS3 line connects the district to 

FIRN via the FIRN firewall that filters access to the Internet. The AS 400 production and development 

systems have a direct 10/100mb Ethernet connection and Gateway High School has an ATM Fiber 

connection. All computers purchased by the district come with a three-year warranty. Standards are 

written for all PC and MAC computers linked to the network including those below. 

• Lab Models 

• Economy Desktops 

• Performance Desktops 

• Multimedia Models 

• Student Laptops 

• Professional Laptops 

• Low-end Fileservers 

• High-end Fileservers 

• Cluster Fileservers 

As part of the Information and Technology Services Department, the district employs networking and 

computer support staff that maintain, configure and monitor the network. The network is monitored using 

6-32 OPPAGA 



HP Openview. The HEAT Help Desk is adequately staffed to route problems to the appropriate 

technicians and assist users with whatever problems occur. Critical server monitoring occurs 24 hours, 

seven days a week and is the responsibility of NCO. Voice and data transmission works closely with 

SPRINT to monitor and maintain constant communication throughout the system. 

District supports technology contacts 

The district provides support to all technology contacts at each school, disseminating information at 

monthly meetings and through email. Technology contacts at the school place calls directly to the vendor 

for problems with computers that are still under warranty. These include Executive Source, Compaq, 

Gateway, IBM and Apple. Computers that no longer have warranties require a call to the district Help 

Desk and the problems are routed to the appropriate group for repair or assistance. If the problem appears 

to be network related, the network staff diagnoses the problem immediately, working with SPRINT and 

CISCO until the problem is resolved. 

Appropriate Use of Technology 

12The district has established and communicated a policy stating 

appropriate uses of all types of technology resources, including 

computers, video equipment, software, and the Internet. 

The school board has adopted policies for access and acceptable use of all types of 

technology resources. Acceptable use policies are in place. The district’s acceptable use 

policy includes established policies regarding what information can be posted on the web 

and also defines what and how specific electronic equipment can be used. Internet filtering 

and blocking is provided through an agreement between the school district and Florida 

Information Resource Network (FIRN). All needed steps to comply with the Children’s 

Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requirements have been pursued. No recommendation. 

Email Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) 

The district’s email objectives are to provide a uniform email account for all full-time district employees. 

The district encourages the use of email, has an email acceptable use policy that is distributed to all email 

users, and provides the means to enhance communication between groups such as schools, districts, the 

state, parents and the community. 

Web development guidelines 

In addition to the acceptable use policy the Internet and Application Development section, under the 

direction of the Information and Technology Services Department director has developed a manual called 

Design Standards for Web Pages which provides guidance for the development of web pages on the 

district’s web server. All web pages must reflect only educational, technological and community 

information that affects the school or department. 

District data-network acceptable use policy 

Staff, teachers, students and parents are provided guidelines describing the appropriate and inappropriate 

uses of technology. These guidelines are available on-line in the District Data-Network Acceptable Use 

Policy. The policy states “At each school, each student’s access to use of the network will be under the 

teacher’s direction and monitored as a regular instructional activity.” 

OPPAGA 6-33 



13The district supports compliance with the established policy on safe and 

legal use of technology resources. 

Processes in place to deny access to any user who violates acceptable use policies. The 

district has developed a process for reporting and filtering inappropriate websites, and 

updates anti-virus software regularly to keep district servers virus free. 

Failure to adhere to the Data-Network Acceptable Use Policy may result in suspending or revoking the 

offender’s privilege of access to the Network and other disciplinary action up to and including 

termination of the employee or expulsion in the case of a student. 10 Processes are in place to protect 

users from network violations in several ways. Inappropriate websites are reported to the district and 

these sites are added to the FIRN filtering system to be blocked from view. 

Virus protection 

Currently the district has in place Computer Associate’s Innoculate-It as its virus protection solution for 

the PC platform. It is provided at the District Administrative Center and all secondary schools. Virus 

table updates are regularly pushed to all servers at the schools and then down to the desktop. Full 

implementation at the school is dependent on technology contacts to configure the clients on each desktop 

appropriately. Over the last two years, the district has attempted to implement this same solution for the 

Apple product line, but have found that administration and deployment of the solution do not work well 

for Apple products.

Management Information Systems 


14Segregation of Duties: The district segregates duties to reduce the risk 

that unauthorized transactions will be entered and not discovered 

quickly. 

The Information and Technology Services Department is an independent group 

responsible for data processing. System security does not allow the Information and 

Technology Services personnel access to transaction input. Security for input transactions 

is maintained by the Finance Department. No recommendation. 

Data processing - development 

The Information and Technology Services Department is independent of the organizations that depend on 

it for data. The Information and Technology Services director is responsible for approving new 

development. Development entails analysis, coding, and requires thorough testing. Newly developed 

applications are tested first in the test environment and then moved into the production environment only 

after customers have had a chance to thoroughly test the new application. 

Security 

The Network Communications Specialist for Networking maintains LAN/WAN network access. Various 

applications residing on networked file servers have been assigned to staff in that department to maintain, 

including security. The Information Services Systems analyst maintains AS 400 system access. AS 400 

application security is also maintained by a designated a person at the district. A formal request is made 

for user access to both the student information and finance applications in TERMS. This formal request 

is then processed and the user is granted access. When employees are terminated network and application 

access is denied. Reports can be printed to show users and the authorities they are granted. 

15User Controls: The district’s user controls ensure authorization prior to 

processing transactions and ensure all output represents authorized and 

valid transactions. 

The district has procedures in place to insure that information entered into the AS 400 

business applications are authorized, accurate and input only once. No recommendation. 

Authorization 

To enter a transaction, a user must log into the network with a valid user id and password. Once logged 

into the network the AS 400 restricts usage of TERMS based on user id and password. Authorization to 

access a specific application depends upon the users function. Users are given levels of access depending 

on what their role in the organization is. For example, data entry clerks who have read, write and delete 

privileges in the Student Information System may not have access to the Financial Information System. 

Other users have access to both systems but are only permitted to view the data or print reports and are 

not allowed to make changes to the data. 

OPPAGA 6-35 



Accuracy 

Supervisors oversee the processes to ensure that all input is processed correctly through the system and 

input only once. At the schools, access to TERMS is limited and made available only on workstations 

where authorized personnel are stationed. When data processing requests are made that bypass normal 

access, requests are documented through the HEAT Help Desk system. Requests are approved by 

assigning them to an IT member with a priority code that indicates the urgency of the request. User 

department supervisors are responsible for reviewing output to determine its reasonableness and accuracy. 

16Application Controls: The district’s applications are designed to 

provide users with reliable data. 

The district uses the Total Educational Resources Management System (TERMS) to 

capture student and financial information and has developed procedures to effectively 

share the information maintained in these systems with a variety of users. No 

recommendation. 

Since 1996 when the district converted their data processing functions to the AS 400 system, they have 

successfully implemented several modules of the TERMS system. Currently the TERMS modules in use 

are the student information and financial information applications. User’s guides and technical 

documentation are available for both systems. The district demonstrates that adequate supervision is 

provided and that training and written instructions are in place to produce reliable data, as information 

contained in these systems is used effectively within and outside the district. The data maintained in these 

systems is reported to Florida Department of Education and is used for determining funding and in 

successfully obtaining grants. It is also analyzed for evaluation and planning purposes, and is also 

imported/exported into supporting administrative applications, such as, Pinnacle, SNAP, EDULOG and 

Medicaid. 

TERMS applications have controls built into system dictionaries that automatically edit and validate 

input. Stored with each record in TERMS is the date and user id of the last person to enter and update the 

record. Using this information, changes to the database can be traced from computer output to data 

source and vice versa. TERMS applications automatically provide reports that are used by supervisors to 

ensure that processing has occurred correctly. In addition, IT programmers have built interfaces to 

strengthen managers’ ability to integrate data into reports that are used for additional analysis. 

6-36 OPPAGA 



17General Controls: The district has established general controls in the 

areas of access, systems development and maintenance, documentation, 

operations, and physical security to promote the proper functioning of 

the information systems department. 

The Information and Technology Services Department not only provides a secure 

operating environment, it is also innovative in developing and modernizing applications 

that benefit users. However, IT documentation has not kept pace with changes in the 

operating environment. 

Controls in areas of access 

The IT Services department provides a secure environment for the district’s investment in technology. 

Keyless door locks secure IT equipment from unauthorized personnel. Anyone outside of the operations 

staff who enters the computer room is required to sign in and out. Safes are used to protect tape backups. 

Most reports are printed by users, however, when operators print sensitive data, users are required to pick 

up the reports in person. 

System development and maintenance 

Specifications are written for the development of new systems and modifications to existing applications, 

but specification requirements are generally less rigid than in the past. Currently, district users, IT 

analysts and IT programmers work interactively to develop programs like the Professional Development 

Intranet application or the browser-based Student Registration Project. Email and the HEAT Help Desk 

system promote this interaction and provide resources to developers that were unavailable in years past, 

which not only improve communication but also double as a source for documenting the development 

process. As discussed previously, the HEAT Help Desk system is often used to document modifications 

to existing systems. Specifications are more detailed for developing new applications as more time, 

analysis and documentation is necessary to outline the expectation of users. 

Documentation needs updating 

Although, written policies and standards exist in the MIS Standards Manual, the manual has not been 

updated since 1996. Although many of the written procedures to test and implement new development 

are still valid, many of the requirements outlined in the manual no longer apply now that new tools are 

available and demand for interactive web applications dominate development efforts. In addition, 

documentation should be updated to include information that will guarantee that the organization could 

continue to operate if important data processing employees were to leave. Changes in procedures should 

also be documented in the updated manual, including automatic scheduling requirements, off-site storage 

of backup tapes and updated disaster recovery plans. 

Operations 

Routine operational processes are scheduled through an automated job scheduler. The job scheduler 

produces a log of all jobs, the date and time they start running, the time they ended and their status upon 

completion. The scheduler log is reviewed to ensure that jobs ran according to the schedule. Backups, 

payroll processing, state reporting schedules, grading reports and student record edit reports are among 

the automatic processes scheduled regularly. 

OPPAGA 6-37 



Physical security 

Data processing equipment is covered by insurance through the Risk Management Department. To 

further reduce risk, daily backups are stored off site and a disaster recovery plan is in place. The disaster 

recovery plan includes a reciprocal agreement with Brevard County as an alternative site for processing 

critical applications. However, the plan was initially agreed upon in 1998 and should be reviewed to 

ensure that the district needs can still be met by the agreement.

18The district’s management information systems provide data needed by 

administrative and instructional personnel in a reliable and manner. 

The Total Educational Resource Management System (TERMS) Student Information 

system captures student demographics, performance, scheduling, and attendance 

information. Six full-time IT staff members support the Student Information System, 

providing student information to schools, district staff, and the Florida Department of 

Education. No recommendation. 

Four of the full-time IT staff supporting the TERMS are system trainers, providing TERMS training to 

school personnel and district staff. Verification of the accuracy of the data falls primarily with each 

school. Online data dictionaries are used to validate data each time it is entered into the TERMS 

database. Periodic reports are reviewed for reasonableness and accuracy. Processing that occurs at the 

district level is sent back to the schools for verification before it is sent to DOE. Errors caught by DOE 

are sent back to the district for correction. 

The district produces many reports that are used to manage educational and operational programs. Some 

of the most critical data analyzed by the district includes enrollment/FTE data, student testing information 

6-38 OPPAGA 



and the number of students who are eligible for the free and reduced lunch program. This data is critical 

because it influences funding. The district prioritizes student data requests systematically, servicing 

requests that impact funding and requests for student transcripts first. 

19The district has taken steps to minimize the number of independent 

databases and build interfaces for databases that support district 

objectives but are independent of its centralized computer systems. 

The district maintains an inventory of databases that operate outside the TERMS 

environment. However, interfaces are developed to synchronize and integrate data 

maintained in each. No recommendation. 

District databases 

Although TERMS is the primary database maintained by the district to track financial and student 

information, other databases are also maintained solely by the district to support additional operational 

and administrative initiatives. These include, the professional development web application, the HEAT 

Help Desk, maintenance work order and warehouse requisition applications, property and records 

management, and the Pinnacle Grade Book system. 

District IT staff maintain the data in these systems by developing interfaces that synchronize the data 

between systems. For example, 12 schools currently are fully operational in the use of the Excelsior 

Pinnacle Grade Book database. This application was purchased to assist teachers in tracking student’s 

classroom grades and attendance. An interface was developed that is scheduled to run during the wee 

hours of the morning to synchronize the Pinnacle Grade Book data with TERMS student attendance 

information. When teachers come into class the following morning, their class rosters have been updated 

with the latest TERMS attendance information and TERMS has been updated with the latest student 

performance information. 

Independent databases 

In addition to supporting district database applications, IT staff also develops interfaces that allow 

TERMS student information to be extracted and imported into independent systems like the Food Service 

program (SNAP) which depends on information regarding a student’s eligibility to receive a free or 

reduce priced lunches. Additionally, the use of the Education Logistics software (EDULOG) to route 

buses throughout the district requires updated student address information that is also to be supplied 

through an interface with the TERMS student information system.

related to electronic data exchange transactions, other transactions 

processed through electronic media, and image processing systems. 

As a service to employees, the district uses electronic data exchange to provide payroll 

direct deposit, to provide data to the Florida Department of Education, and participates in 

a check reconciliation program. In addition, the microfilm is transferred to the state 

record center. No recommendation. 

Financial information 

The district has appropriate agreements with the providers in the electronic exchange of data to provide a 

direct deposit payroll service to district employees. In addition, the district exchanges data electronically 

to participate in a check reconciliation program and 1098 forms. 

Student information 

Because the state of Florida requires the district to periodically report to the Florida Department of 

Education, TERMS data is sent electronically to the Northwest Regional Data Center to consolidate and 

summarize activities for all students in a specific format that is mandated by the state. DOE checks to 

ensure that the data is properly sent and notifies the district if errors are detected. 

Microfilm backup 

Records management microfilm is backed up and stored at the state record center.
