Lakota Local Schools Instructional Technology Audit

Dear Community Member:

The following survey is part of the Lakota Local School District's effort to assess the progress of instructional technology initiatives across the district. By "instructional technology" we mean computers and computing devices as well as the various tools and networks to which they are attached in terms of their use for educational purposes.

We realize that there are many different points of view and opinions related to how the district should implement and support instructional technology, and this survey is part of a multi-faceted approach to gathering information on those varied opinions and experiences. In addition to this survey, our external evaluators - Sun Associates -are conducting in-depth data collection within our schools, with parents, and with the Lakota Local Schools Board.

Data from this survey will be analyzed in aggregate to create an overall picture of technology use in Lakota schools for the purposes of district technology planning. Individual responses will not be tracked and therefore all of your responses will be anonymous. If you wish to ask a question for which you'd like a direct response, please contact the district directly.

Thanks in advance for your time and candid responses.
