IT Toolkit: By James Stapleton

What is IT Policy?

Policies are used to set a standard for performance. Through policy, an organization can develop clear expectations for students, parents, teachers and administrators. It provides a framework for consistent actions regardless of district or school in a region, or even state-wide. Federal and state laws set a policy framework for the use of technology within the school system. All states and school districts are required to have technology plans in compliance with federal policies.
