AISD Strategic Plan for Technology

      AISD’s 2010-2015 Strategic Plan for Technology was drafted in 2009.  The plan was designed to be consistent with the Texas LRPT, ISTE Net·S standards, SBEC Technology Applications Standards, and the district and campus STaR Charts. 


     The AISD Strategic Plan for Technology was developed by forming four working groups to ensure consistency and based on the four key areas of the Texas STaR Chart. Committee members were charged with drafting goal statements, objectives, and strategies.
