Technology Plan 2010-13
Since 2003, with consultation from the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) and in conjunction with the other seven dioceses in the state of PA, we have certified individual technology plans for each of our individual parish and regional schools in the diocese of Greensburg. This was a recommendation, at the time, from the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC). At the diocesan level, central
administration also actively promotes the use of technology in our schools and as such, we had a separate diocesan technology plan approved by an agency certified by USAC.
