The North Carolina Request for Exception from Technology Training-Instructions and Form is a form used by North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDP) staff and local education agencies (Leas) to request an exception from the NCDP Technology Training Standards for a specific school or LEA. This form can be used to request an exception to any of the four Technology Training Standards, which are: 1. Basic Computer Skills 2. Digital Citizenship 3. Technology Integration 4. Technology Resources The form allows the LEA to explain the circumstances and conditions that require an exception. It also requires the LEA to provide a detailed plan on how they will meet the technology training needs of their staff and students despite the exception. Once the form is submitted, the NCDP will review the request and make a decision on whether to grant the exception. If the exception is granted, the LEA must provide documentation of the implementation of their plan. The North Carolina Request for Exception from Technology Training-Instructions and Form is a necessary step for Leas to request an exception to the Technology Training Standards set by the NCDP.
