One of the key components included in the legislation was the development of a technology masterplan, typically covering 6 years. The Master Plan for Education Technology guides decisions about network infrastructure and future bandwidth needs and provides technology leadership and guidance In 1994, Kentucky schools adopted ethernet as a local area network standard and by 1995 implemented the first statewide K-12 network in the country having every K-12 district connected to the internet. In  \nKETS Guiding Principle Ensure a minimum standards of equitable anytime, anywhere, always-on access to instructional and administrative education technology services for all students, teachers, and administrators.  \nFY2007, based on a bandwidth forecast from OET, the state legislature established a recurring budget to dramatically increase funds for the network infrastructure. This funding established the Kentucky  Education Network (KEN) in conjunction with the KETS program. Currently, guided by the technology masterplan, OET uses state funds to purchase and manage the statewide K-12 private middle mile network and internet access on behalf of all school districts. For KETS standard technology items including wired and wireless classroom connections, OET provide a specific dollar amount per student. In order to use the state funds, each district must match the state funds dollar for dollar. At the discretion of the district, state funds are available to escrow for up to three years. OET provides a statewide contract for internal wired and wireless connections that districts can purchase from. Currently, 100% of districts purchase from this contract. Districts may also use the state funding for out-of-school access, including providing connectivity on school buses.  \nBiannually, Kentucky conducts the Teacher Voice and Working Conditions Survey (TELL) survey of teachers and administrators to inform the school, district and state education improvement planning processes. The survey includes ten data elements that directly relate to technology access in schools. Kentucky consistently receives high response rates to the survey with positive feedback. In the mostrecent publicized results, 85% of respondents reported that the reliability and speed of the internet in schools was sufficient to support instructional practices. The state’s Digital Readiness tool provides snapshots, reports and trends of technology infrastructure and data gathered from the TELL survey. The interactive tool enables users to view results by state, district, or school.  \nHighlights  \nKentucky was one of the first states to adopt the FCC standard of 100 mbps/1000 students at minimum. The state provides bandwidth to districts and schools in an equitable, efficient and cost effective manner. Kentucky works with district leaders to provide the amount of bandwidth a district needs to achieve their instructional goals. Not all district are implementing digital learning at the same pace, so connectivity needs may differ. State technology leaders focus on statewide technology services, such as Internet  \nState K-12 Broadband [Leadership 2019 | SETDA | www.setda.org |](Leadership 2019 | SETDA | www.setda.org |) [http://arcg.is/setdabroadbandmap](http://arcg.is/setdabroadbandmap) Page 26  \naccess and security; allowing district technology officers to focus on the specific technology needs of their schools.
