Needs Assessment

Assessment Process:Kaufman Independent School District is made up of: 7 campuses, 3781 students and 513 faculty members. The purpose of theTechnology Committee is to provide up to date technology to assure each student an equal opportunity for success. The goals thathave been established in this plan will be modified as needed. Kaufman Schools will serve as a central resource for everyone in thecommunity.

A comprehensive needs assessment utilizing teacher/student input, interviews, campus meetings, inventories and the TexasCampus STaR Chart is conducted to analyze the current status oftechnology in the district and to determine future needs. Items analyzed include: infrastructure,hardware, software, programs, courses, student achievement, technology resources, staffdevelopment, and technical support. Findings from this needs analysis enable us to make decisions concerning our futuretechnology needs.
