Per Part 100.12 of Commissioner’s Regulations, all É«ÖÐÉ« public school districts are required to develop and maintain instructional technology plans.

É«ÖÐÉ«'s Office of Educational Design and Technology collects and reviews key information on district Instructional Technology Plan surveys (ITPs) from school districts every three years.ÌýThe due date to submit updates had been previously set as June 30, 2025. The due date to submit updates to District Instructional Technology Plans has been extended toÌýJune 30, 2026.ÌýÌý

All currently approved 2022 - 2025 District Instructional Technology Plans remain approved through June 30, 2026.Ìý No waiver or additional approval is needed.Ìý

An approvedÌýDistrict Instructional Technology Plan is required for any district seeking to use Smart School Bond Act funds, and the Department will continue to rely on information provided in the District Instructional Technology Plan surveys when reviewing Smart School Bond Act Investment Plans (SSIPs). If a district wishes to update its District Instructional Technology Plan prior to the June 30, 2026, deadline, such as to ensure alignment with its SSIP, they are encouraged to do so and to submit those updates through the District Instructional Technology Plan Survey.Ìý Districts are asked to contact the Office of Educational Design and Technology atÌýEdTech@nysed.govÌýfor more information.

Through District Instructional Technology Plans, districts address how they are meeting the Educational Technology expectations of the Board of Regents, as articulated in theÌýUSNY Statewide Learning Technology Plan.ÌýÌý

Districts will identify how they will:

• Develop a strategic vision and goals to support student achievement and engagement through the seamless integration of technology into teaching and learning;
• Provide technology-enhanced, culturally- and linguistically-responsive learning environments to support improved teaching and learning;
• Increase equitable access to high-quality digital resources and standards-based, technology-rich learning experiences;
• Provide access to relevant and rigorous professional development to ensure educators and leaders are proficient in the integration of learning technologies.

Districts also were required toÌýpost either their É«ÖÐÉ« approved Instructional Technology Plan or a more comprehensive technology plan to a public website where the survey or plan can be easily accessed by the community.
