We are on the way to meeting

our targets!

The Long Range Plan for Technology calls for school reform to meet the needs of 21st Century Learners.

To measure campus and district progress, Texas has created a survey.

Survey data is compiled and reported on the STaR (School Technology and Readiness) Chart.

Schools have access to SRaR Chart data to use in writing Campus Improvement Plans.
