DSPSDescription Hardware and software products and programs are being replaced as needed. All the PCs in DSPS have been targeted for replacement in 2008. In addition DSPS will be purchasing for the DSPS test proctoring center a new photocopier to facilitate processing and record-keeping of exams. District software licenses are up-to-date. During the next two years, we plan to continue a phased-in upgrade of peripheral components (e.g., scanners, printers, etc.) and upgrade software licenses. Curriculum Impact Over the next two years, an increase in the availability of assistive computer technology will enable DSPS to expand its ability to offer testing accommodations on computer as well as expand the use of computers in the courses offered under the auspices of DSPS. As we integrate the use of Web-based instructional materials into the PDSS courses we offer, DSPS will experience growth in its overall Web presence. Approximate Number of Students Served DSPS is currently serving nearly 1000 students. We anticipate this number to steadily increase in proportion to projected student enrollment increases. Support Impact While technical support needs will most likely remain the same in the future, personnel needs will increase as specified in the Educational Master Plan.
