DASSEL-COKATO ISD 466
TECHNOLOGY PLAN 2008-2011
Last updated March 12, 2007
DISTRICT STAKEHOLDERS
Communities: The Dassel-Cokato school district encompasses 185 square miles and serves the
two communities of Cokato and Dassel with a combined estimated general pubic population of
8,500 residents.
Staff: Employees in the district include: 11 administrative staff, 23 administrative support staff,
147.73 FTE teachers, and 146 non-licensed support staff.
Students: As of February 2007, the overall student enrollment has increased by approximately
60 students since 2004 with current enrollment at 2,342 PreK-12 students district wide. Students
are taught in the following district entities:

Dassel Elementary, 389 students grades K-4

Cokato Elementary, 511 students grades K-4

Middle School, 687 students grades 5-8

High School, 707 students grades 9-12

Early Childhood Center, 48 students

Area Learning Center, 30-200 part-time and full-time students each year
The district serves approximately 260 open-enrolled students from surrounding districts and has
about 90 district students enrolled out of the district. The school district maintains a relationship
with the Meeker and Wright County Special Education Cooperative (MAWSECO) to provide
assistive technologies for individuals with unique needs.
DISTRICT MISSION
The mission of the Dassel-Cokato Schools is to provide programs of educational excellence to
students of all ages.
1
DISTRICT TECHNOLOGY VISION STATEMENTS

Integrate technology skills that are based on the MEMO, ISTE and state standards into the
district’s PreK-12 curriculum and instruction so that students are technologically literate by
the time they leave the middle school and are able to apply appropriate technology as needed
to meet educational, career, and personal goals upon graduation (see Addendum J for curriculum
and course outlines).

Equip and train all teachers, administrators, and staff with the technological tools and skills
required to improve the quality and effectiveness of instructional and administrative
responsibilities.

Provide the district communities with a vehicle for communication and parental involvement
as well as provide a model for the use of emerging technology.
DISTRICT TECHNOLOGY OBJECTIVES
The following stakeholder objectives will guide the technology committees in making decisions
regarding curriculum integration, training, budget, acquisition, upgrade, replacement and
deployment of technology:

Students will use technology to meet curriculum-related objectives (including, but not
limited to, online courses), access and retrieve information including online and digital
curricular materials, produce documents, create and present multimedia productions,
communicate both locally and worldwide, and complete online assessments.

Licensed Staff will use technology to provide instructional opportunities that integrate
technology; access and retrieve information; produce documents; plan, create and present
lessons utilizing multimedia; assess student achievement and manage records; use technology
to make data driven decisions regarding instruction; and communicate both locally and
worldwide.

Administrators and their support staff will use technology to manage student records and
schedules, access and retrieve information, produce documents and presentations, make data
driven decisions, develop and implement budgets, and communicate both locally and
worldwide.

Non-licensed staff will use technology to support instructional needs of students, access and
retrieve information, produce documents, and communicate both locally and worldwide.
2

General public will communicate and interact with the district staff through a variety of
technology services including email, voicemail, parent portal, and building and district web
sites.
UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGES FACING DISTRICT
The district is facing budget challenges that are negatively impacting technology services. Over
the past four years, the district has cut approximately $1 million and has failed twice to pass an
operating levy. Previously, technology needs have been funded significantly through local
operating and bond levies. However, for the first time since the 1980’s, the district will begin the
2007-2008 school year without an operating levy. This will leave the district in the bottom 10%
in the state in per student funding. Furthermore, the socioeconomic status of the district has
declined slightly from 20-25 percent in 2004 to approximately 25-28 percent of its current
student population on free or reduced lunch.
The district is struggling to keep up-to-date with technology because of the funding limitations.
Projected replacement cycles double recommended standards. The district has been unable to
hire adequate technical support staff to meet the growing demands placed on technology. The
district has also been unable to integrate newer technology such as projectors, wireless network,
laptops and Smart Boards. These challenges will be further compounded by new state mandates
requiring online testing which will put more demands on our limited resources and take
computer access away from meeting curriculum needs.

technology committees will consider training, replacement, upgrade and acquisition of
technology based on stated technology objectives for each stakeholder group. They will also
consider the technical requirements for operating systems, software and hardware that are needed
to meet current technology needs and curriculum objectives. The funding requests will first be
submitted to the District Technology Committee and then given to the Administrative Council
for consideration. The finalized requests will be submitted to the school board for consideration
and final approval. The budget process will include funding for:
•
Network infrastructure
•
Telecommunications (Local and long distance telephone service, Internet Access, etc.)
8
•
Voice, data and video connectivity
•
District and building level web sites
•
District technicians
•
Commercial technical support
•
Staff development
•
Hardware & Software
•
Audio/visual materials
•
Technology related consumable supplies
•
Facilities
The district will apply for E-Rate discounts to defray the costs of local and long distance phone
service as well as T1 connections to the buildings. The local region (CMERDC) will apply for
E-Rate discounts as it applies to ISP and filtering services. As part of the E-Rate application
process, the district has in place an acceptable use policy as well as a filtering service which
meets the requirements of the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). See Addendum L for MDE
Budget Template.
TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE, INVENTORY AND PROJECTIONS
Each building will maintain an inventory as well as develop and update yearly a tentative 4-year
technology implementation plan. The district will also maintain the technology infrastructure that
supports the hardware, software and stakeholder needs.
Because the state of technology changes so rapidly, projecting system requirements is difficult.
Computer systems will always need to be consistent with the requirements for software available
for educational and administrative purposes. Current standards for equipment will be determined
by stated district objectives. District and Building Level Technology Committees as well as the
District Tech Services Committee will continually assess these requirements and make
projections accordingly.
See addendum L for MDE Technology Infrastructure template; Addendum C and D for building inventories and
schematics; and Addendum E for 2008-2011 implementation and replacement cycles.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
To make effective use of technology and to meet outlined technology objectives, all staff need
ongoing training and support to refine their skills and learn new applications. To accomplish
these objectives, the district will:

use survey results to determine what training opportunities are needed;

allocate district staff development funds for technology training each year;

allocate staff development funds toward integration writing that focuses on the incorporation
of technology and media resources into the curriculum;

provide staff development training that 1) meets district technology objectives and vision, 2)
coincides with new technology acquisitions, 3) focuses on both technical and
curricular/professional integration, and 4) provides different levels of training to meet the
needs of all certified, non-certified staff and tech support staff;

provide ongoing follow-up staff development training to reinforce skills and to ensure the
integration of technology into the curriculum;

provide incentives to staff such as stipend pay, lane change credit and/or release time to
attend training;

offer training throughout the year, during school and non-school hours;

encourage staff to access off-site technology training workshops; and

identify and employ competent trainers from within the district and remunerate them for both
preparation and instruction time required.

support independent learning by maintaining a software and hardware manual collection at
each school media center.

meeting technology objectives and to identify areas of need. A random sampling of the district’s
4th, 8th and 11/12th grade students as well as licensed, non-licensed and administrative staff will
be assessed using surveys
The district will also review the overall use of technologies by
student families in the district by conducting a random survey and the utilization of web
counters. See Addendum A for survey forms and Addendum B for survey results and needs assessments.
EVALUATION PLAN
The district’s technology plan will be evaluated both formatively and summatively by a
combination of the following methods:
Formative:

The district and building level technology committees will regularly evaluate progress on the
implementation plans and ensure alignment with technology objectives and vision.
11

The district technology committee will administer surveys every four years to the stakeholder
groups and assess progress as compared to data collected during the previous survey.

Building level technology committees will annually review technology expenditures made
within their respective building during each year of the technology plan.
Summative:
The district technology committee will review all aspects of the technology plan during the final
year of its implementation to determine what level of success has been achieved in meeting the
technology plan objectives.
The committee will compare survey results, inventories, and
budgets from the final year with the data collected during the first year of the plan. Results of
the action plan, i.e. new services and equipment provided, will be assessed to determine level of
increased benefits to stakeholders. These results will be shared with stakeholders.
See Addendum H for 2004-2007 Tech Plan Evaluation

DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

ISD 466 Dassel-Cokato
Disaster Recovery Plan
Last updated: March 2007
All district staff will be required to store on a network server any data pertinent to the operational
or record-keeping function of the school district. This requirement will help ensure that pertinent
data can be recovered in the event of a loss as well as provide data security by restricting access
to only those individuals with appropriate user rights.
Responsibility for Backups:
The district’s technician will conduct automatic backups under the direction of the district’s
business manager who is responsible backup of the district network servers.
Restoration Procedure:
In the event of application, data, and/or operating system loss, the district technician will arrange
for the retrieval and restoration of files to the network. Any additional assistance will be
provided through contract services and with individual software vendors.
Retention Schedule:
Daily tape backups will be retained until the end of each week.
Tapes containing Friday backups will be retained until the end of each month.
The last Friday tape from each month will be retained until the end of each fiscal year (June
30th).
The June 30th tape will be retained permanently.
When technology becomes available for a more stable storage medium, all backup data will
be converted to the new medium.
All backups, regardless of type, will be recorded in a backup log.
Backup Storage:

2004-2007 ISD 466 Technology Plan Evaluation
Evaluating the Technology Plan
After reviewing the 2003-2007 Technology Plan, the Media Department recommended that a
new committee, District Tech Services, be added to the Roles and Responsibilities process. This
committee would allow for better communication between the media specialists who act as
building technology coordinators, the district technicians and the administration. This committee
will focus on technology planning and implementation related to network infrastructure. The
district technology committee approved this addition to the 2007-2011 Technology Plan. Other
minor modifications were made to address specific requirements outlined in the Minnesota
Department of Education 2008-2011 Technology Planning Guide.
Evaluating the Technology Planning & Implementation:
Each building accomplished the goals outlined in the 2003-2007 technology plan. New goals
were set for the 2008-2011 Technology Plan (see Addendum E).
Evaluating the Skill Level
Survey results revealed some skill areas are slightly increasing while others are slightly
decreasing (see Addendum B).
Evaluating the Budget
The budget allocated to technology capital has remained stagnant from 2003-2007. Due to
financial constraints facing the district that has no levy, no increase in funding levels is
anticipated during the 2007-2011 Technology Plan cycle.
Evaluating the Inventory
Due to budget constraints, the district-wide computer inventory declined during the 2003-2007
Technology Planning cycle.
Both Dassel Elementary and Cokato Elementary decreased
computer access with a net loss of 58 computers. The middle school remained stable with a net
loss of 2 computers. The high school increased their inventory by 10% with a net gain of 27
computers.

ADDENDUM I
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN OVERVIEW
67
Implementation Plan Overview
Meeting Schedule Summary:
Media Department Meetings—once per month
Tech Services Committee Meetings—once per month
District Technology Meetings—quarterly or as needed
Building Technology Meetings—at least once per year
Budget Commitments:
Each building is allocated capital funds designated for technology each year. The building
media specialists coordinate the expenditures of these funds. Each building has a minimal
software account.
Equipment to be purchased:
The capital funds designated for technology currently does not allow for a timely replacement
cycle for CPU’s and monitors. Although it varies slightly by building, this generally allows no
additional funds for replacement of other technology needs such as TV’s, DVD/VCR’s, printers,
LCD projectors, etc. Currently, some of these needs are being met through building capital.
For the first time, our district now faces the replacement cycle without the benefit of levy funds
to supplement the capital funds. This change will greatly expand the current replacement cycle
timeline, pushing it back in all buildings and to more than 10 years in the high school.
Evaluation of the progress with implementation of the plan:
The building media specialists will complete this task as noted in the roles and responsibilities
section of this technology plan.

TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE, MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT QUESTIONS FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS,
CHARTER SCHOOLS AND NONPUBLIC SCHOOLS
Please describe plans for technology implementation based on responses to the following questions. Think about these
questions in terms of a planning context. For example, where are you now in terms of telecommunications/Internet
connectivity and where do you need or want to be at the end of the planning cycle? The table can be expanded as needed to
provide complete information.
QUESTION
What is your telecommunications/Internet
connectivity capacity in your school district or
school for Internet access and video
connectivity?
RESPONSE
• DC has a district-wide phone system with individual classroom extensions
and staff voice boxes.
•
10 MB Internet connection to HS/MS complex with T1 (1.5 MB) connections
to each elementary school
•
Each building has its own individual video connectivity system. MS and HS
systems can be connected into one system. There are no connections to the
elementary schools.
Yes. We are exploring improved Internet connectivity to the elementary
schools. Options being considered are purchasing T1 bundles or a wireless
microwave tower system to connect all buildings.
We hope to be able to provide the entire district with a minimum of 18 MB of
Internet connectivity.
Do you have plans to expand this capacity
within the next three to four years?
•
If you plan to expand telecommunications
capacity, what will be your anticipated
capacity by the end of this planning period
(July 1, 2011)?
What is your student to Internet-connected
computer ratio? What will this ratio be at the
end of the planning cycle?
•
•
•
•
•
Dassel Elementary = 1:5 students to Internet ratio
Cokato Elementary = 1:5.5 student to Internet ratio
Middle School = 1:5 student to Internet ratio
High School = 1:3.5 student to Internet ratio
What is your teacher to Internet-connected
computer ratio?
What will this ratio be at the end of the
planning cycle?
Are the majority of the computers accessible
for students located within labs or classrooms?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Dassel Elementary = 1:1 teacher to Internet ratio
Cokato Elementary = 1:1 teacher to Internet ratio
Middle School = 1:1 teacher to Internet ratio
High School = 1:1 teacher to Internet ratio
Dassel Elementary = Classrooms
Cokato Elementary = Classrooms
Middle School = Labs
High School = Labs
Dassel Elementary = 3 years
Cokato Elementary = 3 years
Middle School = 3 years
High School = 4 years
Dassel Elementary = 6 years to replace existing CPU’s and Monitors only
(not peripherals)
Cokato Elementary = 6 years to replace existing CPU’s and Monitors only
(not peripherals)
Middle School = 8.5 years to replace existing CPU’s and Monitors only (not
peripherals)
High School = 10 years to replace existing CPU’s and Monitors only (not
peripherals)
Dassel and Cokato Elementary = PC for teachers and office, MacIntosh for
students
Middle and High Schools = PC for all users
What is the average age of computer
equipment used for instruction?
What is timeline for your computer equipment
replacement cycle?
•
•
•
What is your computer platform? PC-based,
MacIntosh-based or both?
•
•
98
How many technology support staff do you
have to manage your technology infrastructure
and network?
•
Is the technology support staff sufficient to
effectively manage your technology
infrastructure and network? If not, what staff
capacity do you think you need?
Is assistive technology for students with
special needs provided and supported in your
school district or school?
Are technology support staff provided with the
necessary training they need, including
training associated with assistive technology?
How and when are technology support staff
provided with training?
•
No. Due to budget constraints, we have not added technical support to keep
up with technology growth. We are currently exploring ways to restructure
this system.
•
Yes. D-C uses its relationship with MAWSECO (area special education
cooperative) to service student needs in this area.
•
The district supports attendance at workshops and training as requested by
technology support staff.
•
What particular challenges does your school
district or school face in providing sufficient
access and technology resources to your staff
and students?
•
Support staff may request the opportunity to attend workshops and training.
These are not regularly scheduled, but rather, are dependent on training
offered in an accessible geographic proximity.
We are currently functioning without a local operating levy. In the past, local
levies have allowed us to keep our technology functional and current. Now,
without the levy in place, our replacement cycle will take twice as long to
complete. Because of this, we face considerable obstacles in maintaining our
current level of technology services. This leaves us little or no resources to
improve our current system or to pursue new and innovative technologies.
We also face a shortage in tech support staff, which is also compounded by
our funding shortfall.
We currently do not have adequate computer access for online testing needs.
1.5 district technicians
Note #1: We have two contracts with support services (MARCO, TechCheck).
These are paid hourly.
Note #2: We have 4 media specialists who act as technology coordinators in their
buildings.
