[Originating in the Committee on Education]
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to
conduct a study on
flexibility for local schools and school
systems to acquire and employ technology to improve student
performance and progress.
Whereas, The Legislature recognizes that infusing technology
for learning in the public schools is critical for engaging a
youth population exposed as a part of every day life to
increasingly available communication, information, and social
networking technologies that heighten their technological
sophistication to unprecedented levels; and
Whereas, The Legislature has committed a growing level of
resources for 21st Century Strategic Technology Learning to
support multiple technology-based learning strategies to expand
the learning opportunities for students and prepare them for a
world increasingly reliant upon technology utilization; and
Whereas, The Legislature has recognized that individual
school teams should develop plans and revise their strategic
school improvement plans, and counties should develop and revise
their county improvement plans, incorporating technology
utilization for improving student learning within the general
goals established by the State Board; and
Whereas, As technology improves, or is updated, or as needs
change, schools and counties should have flexibility
to acquire
and employ the technology they determine necessary to improve the
performance and progress of their students
; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to conduct a study on
flexibility for local schools and
school systems to acquire and employ technology to improve
student performance and progress
; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the said Joint Committee on
Government and Finance is requested to report to the regular
session of the Legislature, 2011, on its findings, conclusions
and recommendations, together with drafts of any legislation
necessary to effectuate its recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct
this study, to prepare a report and draft necessary legislation
are requested to be paid from legislative appropriations to the
Joint Committee on Government and Finance.
