Information concerning the district’s technology plan:
The current year's plan will follow the previous year's precedent by again directing the remaining TAP funds to only the elementary schools. Due to changes in the technology portion of the School Improvement Plans (SIP) in the 2013-14 year, it has not been necessary for schools to complete a new technology plan for the SIP; rather schools can continue with their current plan.
History of the TAP program:
The State’s Educational Technology Initiative (ETI) ended in 2002. Davis District has demonstrated a commitment to enhancing the education of our students with technology through the district’s Technology Advancement Plan (TAP). TAP funding has allowed our district to continue being progressive in the deployment of technology in our schools.
