Some Challenges Enlisting Involvement outside of IT – “It’s an IT issue.” Consistency of Eight School policies with existing Hotchkiss policies (Red Flag, AUP, etc.) Differing timelines and priorities among Eight Schools Information overload and implementation concerns Large number of drafts to review (charter, policies) Sixteen policies to implement; some may already exist, many do not

19. Summary Technology Planning process was critical for Hotchkiss Responsibilities are distributed Implementation may be intimidating, but will be achieved methodically Consortium work added tremendous value to policy development process
