Introduced by: Alan A. Diamonstein | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Study; Educational infrastructure and technology. Continues the Commission on Educational Infrastructure as the Commission on Educational Infrastructure and Technology. The resolution notes some of the history of the Commission and that, over the last several years, the Commission has implemented study plans to collect data and background information on Virginia construction and educational technology programs and the programs implemented in other states. Further, the Commission has received presentations on North Carolina, Ohio, and West Virginia, conducted a review of construction issues in other states in the Southern region, examined higher education methodology for determining space utilization, received data on the Commonwealth's student demographics and the effects of facility needs, and initiated its own survey of facilities needs in Virginia. The Commission's focus in 1999 was on the school of the new millennium, what it will look like and how technology will impact building design and curricula, school operations, teaching, student achievement, and student discipline. In the course of this examination, the Commission has heard presentations on several innovative, high-tech public school programs and has reaffirmed its conviction that school construction and educational technology are inextricably linked.
