Technology Minutes

October 2, 2001

Members Present:  Stacie Musgrave, Cynthia Turner, Dana Hougland, Sue Kolka, and Ms. Bruce

The meeting was lead by Mrs. Musgrave.  An over-all view was given to our new parent rep. on the technology committee, Ms. Bruce.  The need for new televisions, digital cameras and an extra battery was discussed.  See italicized items below for new additions.

Goals set for the school year of 2001-2002

1. One digital camera for each grade level
2. ESL programs - Three copies of the program Let’s Go (an ESL program) were purchase using grant money that Stacie Musgrave and Amy Ford received. 
3. More computers in the classrooms - We have received our KETS (Kentucky Educational Technology Systems) funds.  Stonewall has received $18,525.69.  It was proposed that we take some of this money and purchase 7 cpu's (we have working monitors already here that we can use to set them up with) and 8 cpu's and monitors.  The total amount spent for these items would be $14,415.00.  It was approved.  Amy will complete the purchase order. 
4. 7 more scan converters so ALL classroom teachers will have their computers hooked up to their televisions.

PTA Funds

1. 4 digital cameras
2. 7 scan converters
3. TV’s  - TV’S will be replaced starting with the oldest ones first.
4. One set of ink cartridges (one black and one color cartridge) for each classroom

KETS

• The current balance is $18,525.69.  There will be a second round of funding.  However, the amount will be quite small and no one knows when it will come in.
