The Solana Beach School District has established a high priority for learning activities that challenge higher-order thinking skills and engage students in hands-on activities. Equal access is a key component to providing the opportunity for students, staff and the community to use technology to enhance their learning experience and to prepare them for the requirements of the 21st century. Equity in placing the right tools of technology and adequate support will ensure that students, staff and the community will benefit through their use. The district believes that technology integration enhances the curriculum and leads to high-performance learning.

To this end, the district has developed a comprehensive Scope and Sequence, outlining the instructional technology plan, as well as a Grade Level Technology Standards document for students, parents and staff which detail technology skill expectations for each grade level. The Governing Board encourages the instructional use of computers, videotapes, interactive videodisks, distance learning, cable television and other technologies. The Board perceives that these technologies:
 •   Give students new ways to access information and
      practice skills;
 •   Help teachers meet a wide range of learning styles
      and instructional needs that enable them to move
      from whole-class instruction to a mixture of small-
      group and individualized instruction;
 •   Help students develop reasoning and problem-
      solving abilities;
 •   Will be a part of our students’ everyday lives.

The primary goal of the program is to improve student academic achievement through a comprehensive use of technology. It is designed to assist every student in crossing the digital divide and to ensure students are technologically literate when they finish sixth grade, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location or disability. Solana Beach School District promotes activities that provide teachers, principals and administrators with the capacity to integrate technology effectively into curricula and instruction that are aligned with challenging state academic content and student academic achievement standards.
