Organizational Chart Regarding Technology

Associate Superintendent for Instruction and Technology Services – Janna Hawkins
Ms. Hawkins is responsible for overseeing at the district level curriculum compliance, school improvement, special education, research and information technology, and all management information systems. Any changes to technology must be approved by her department.

Campus Principal – Dana Stolhandske
Ms. Stolhandske is ultimately responsible for all decisions made on campus. Her approval is required before new technologies can be implemented or purchased. She prefers that all decisions be related to an increase in student performance and research based. She normally approves a pilot program first, then decides to implement based on evidence that a program works for our students.

Campus Improvement Committee – elected committee of teachers, parents, and administration.
The CIC makes decisions based on campus need. We develop the Campus Improvement Plan with input from our individual departments. CIC members are elected by their departments. Major changes are not made on our campus without their being included on the CIP. All items on the CIP must be related to increasing student performance.

Instructional Technology Specialist – Brad Cloud
The ITS is responsible for learning new technologies and helping teachers find ways to implement technology in their lessons in new and creative ways. The ITS also sometimes solves technical issues that arise on campuses. However, they are assigned to multiple campuses and shared, so they are never on the same campus day to day. Often, the ITS will hear about a new technology that may help a particular set of students. When that happens, the ITS sometimes suggests the new technology directly to the principal and she brings it to the CIC, sometimes he suggests it directly to the CIC and we vote.
