About half of the money in OETT
grants goes for training teachers,
said Graves. She noted that knowing
how to effectively use the new technology is just as essential as being
able to get it.
An Idabel committee was meeting
today on plans for utilizing a technology grant funded through a
recent bond issue passed by Idabel
district voters.
A first priority for the $1.3 million
in bond funds, said DeBerry, is
upgrading the technology infrastructure.
Currently, OETT trustees are Phil
Berkenbile, appointed by the
Oklahoma State Board of Career &
Technology Education; Steven
Crawford, appointed by the
Cooperative Council for Oklahoma
School Administration; Robert
Franklin, appointed by the
Oklahoma State Senate Education
Committee; Lela Odom, appointed
by the Oklahoma Education
Association; Scott Sparks, appointed by the Oklahoma State
Superintendent
of
Public
Instruction; Bob Stafford, appointed
by AT&T; and John A. Wright,
appointed by the education committee of the Oklahoma House of
Representatives.
The trustee board had a vacancy
when one of the trustees recently
died. Jeff Mills was executive director of the OSSBA (state school
board association) and an OETT
trustee. The new OSSBA executive
director, starting in April, will be
Idabel native Shawn Hime.
OETT is administered by
Communities
Foundation
of
Oklahoma and the OK-ACTS Phase
IIU Grants-to-School professional
development team at the K20
Center.
