Discussion 1 Who should contribute?

Discussion 1                                                                                                                                                        31OCT2016
I plan on working on Terrell Independent School District, specifically the JFK Elementary school. I chose this school because It will be where my daughter attends in a few years, unless I can convince my wife to let me home school. TISD has a strategic plan district wide and it is broken down for each school. It’s a 37page PDF or I would just repost it here.
I think the technology department would be a great place to start with on developing a technology strategic plan. The principal and teachers would need to be included as well. Parents would make good contributors but I am not sure how to approach them. Many of them may have contacts in the tech industry or know of possible donors. A good avenue of approach to improving in school tech I think.

Micheal French                 Superintendent  
I believe the Superintendent would be the first person to talk to before you do anything on his school, start at the top I figure.

Renee Jones                      Principal  

Before considering a specific school, I think the first person to talk to would be the principal, they would be able to direct you to who to talk to further.

Cheryl Ragsdale                Business & Finance Director 

Finance director, money makes the world go around and always a good person to have in a discussion.

Shuck Wieland                   Student Services Director  

Student services is where I think I would be able to get in contact with students’ parents on possible leads on donors not to mention what the student need/want tech wise.

Rachel Frost                       Director of Communications and Marketing    

Seems like a good start point for approaching businesses for donations.
Stan Heisel                          Director of Technology  

Main contact I would think. Should have a plan and implementation schedule, everything I would need should be right here.

Hello (name and title)

My name is William Loftin, I am a graduate student at Texas A&M-Commerce. I am currently taking a class on Strategic Planning for Tech. I would like to use Terrell Independent School District, JFK Elementary school as the focus for my strategic planning for tech project. Would you be willing to give me some input as I work through my project? I don’t anticipate needing to take up much of your time but any guidance you could provide would be valuable to me. I will of course allow you full access to my final report.

Thanks,
William Loftin
