Texas School Performance Review Spring Independent School District Appendix A Community Comments This appendix summarizes comments from two community forums held at Spring and Westfield high schools, interviews with key area civic and business representatives, and focus-group meetings with various civic, business, and community organizations. These comments are presented to illustrate community perceptions of the Spring Independent School District (SISD) and do not necessarily reflect the findings or opinions of the review team. METHODOLOGY The community forums were open meetings held from 3:00-5:00 pm and 6:00-8:00 pm at each of the high schools. People were asked to share their comments about SISD by writing on tablets dispersed around the cafeteria in each school. Each tablet represented one of the chapters of this report. Interviews were held with individuals identified as community leaders, heads of key organizations within SISD (such as PTAs and PTOs), former board members, business leaders, and civic leaders representing various interest groups. The focus groups were assembled using input from SISD staff regarding key community organizations, and included members of minority organizations and business, religious, and civic groups as well as teachers and students. The focus groups were asked to provide comments on each area represented in this report as well as any general comments on SISD.

35. Making Tech Happen Chapter 9 efforts by civic organizations and ptas taking up Elementary School in Aiken, SouthCarolina, deliberately invites technology funds for the north Summit School http://www.southern.org/pubs/MTH/MT9.html

Chapter 9 - Resources Finding the resources to finance, maintain, and upgrade equipment, and to provide teacher training and technical support is universally one of the biggest hurdles that schools face when it comes to technology implementation. For many, the funds are simply unavailable via the conventional means of local tax-based school financing. Despite this fact, we found schools and districts in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the nation that have somehow managed to establish exemplary technology programs. How did they do it? As an additional component of this chapter, we provide some information on the use of various information resources available through the Federal government. Not only is money essential for acquiring technology but so is good information about the availability of Federal programs and information sources. Questionnaire Data: Awareness, Use and Helpfulness of Resources General Approaches to Resource Acquisition In this area, we identified a list of nine very general approaches to expanding the resource base available to schools involved in implementing technology. It included various sources of resources (e.g., private versus public), various types of resources (e.g., money versus in-kind), and different types of relationships with the resource providers. In the questionnaire, we asked schools to indicate whether they were using a particular technical support approach and to rate how much the approach helped on a four-point scale. These questionnaire data are summarized in Table 9.1.

CHAPTER NINE RESOURCES Finding the resources to finance, maintain, and upgrade equipment, and to provide teacher training and technical support is universally one of the biggest hurdles that schools face when it comes to technology implementation. For many, the funds are simply unavailable via the conventional means of local tax-based school financing. Despite this fact, we found schools and districts in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the nation that have somehow managed to establish exemplary technology programs. How did they do it? In a word, they did everything . While we collected questionnaire information on a number of typical sources of funds (see below), schools provided literally dozens of interesting examples of how to approach fundraising. Some fostered and rewarded grantsmanship among their faculty; others developed alliances with community groups; and still others were able to steer traditional educational funding vehicles into more direct support of technology. Many schools identified non-monetary in-kind resources such as volunteers, bartering relationships, and corporate contributions of hardware and software. The best schools (from a resource acquisition perspective) had fairly elaborate strategies and tactics that combined all of these elements. One of the areas we focused particular attention on was how schools make effective use of Federal or state technology grant programs. This is an area where there is much opportunity for creative and effective public policy, as well as for some dreadful mistakes.
