Technology Planning Support
The Department of Education requires that every school district in California has a state approved technology plan in order to be eligible for State or Federal funding for technology. CTAP Region 3 provides support to districts for the development of State approved technology plans. Below you'll find links to CTAP Region 3 and Department of Education resources for technology planning. If you district appears on this List of Region 3 districts with technology plans that expire on June 30, 2009, then you should be revising your plan this year.
