Chapter 793 Long Range Plan For Technology
What is the 793 Plan? Each Board of Cooperative Educational Services Regional Center, working cooperatively with other BOCES within its regional service delivery area, is required to prepare a regional plan for providing technology services in the supervisory districts. This plan must be submitted to the Commissioner on or before the first day of December of each year. Each plan must outline the actions completed during the prior year, technology efforts in the region for the subsequent two school years and a five-year projection of major tasks to be undertaken.
Consistent with prior policy, each regional plan must have a signoff from all District Superintendents (Section 6). Each plan must also include a statement assuring that new technology services were analyzed using a cost-benefit methodology and that existing services were analyzed using a cost-effectiveness methodology. (Section 7).
All plans must conform to the following format. That is, one summary page for each of the first seven sections of the plan. Section 8 should be expanded to include all applications and services provided through the 7710 and 6360 CoSers. Should additional information need to be included, links may be inserted in the plan to information available online at the Regional Information Center. Only if information is unavailable online should it be appended at the end of the plan format. Specific descriptions of individual services should not be submitted separately. We encourage Regional Information Centers to provide the plans and any supporting documentation online at the Center, with the caveat that the plan has not yet been approved by the department. Each plan must be submitted electronically by December 1 of each year, to the following address. IF the plan is not received in a timely fashion, approval to conduct this particular BOCES service within the region may be jeopardized.
