- RTC function and inclusion in the bill that created ITTCIn 1994, the Legislature created the Iowa Telecommunications and Technology Commission (ITTC) doing business as the Iowa Communications Network (ICN), an independent state agency. The legislature also created several authorized user advisory groups to advise the ITTC, including the Educational Telecommunications Council (ETC) and the Regional Telecommunications Councils (RTCs). The ETC and RTCs were put into place to ensure that educational users had a voice in the technologies utilized in the Network and to make sure the technologies would meet the needs of education. As it became apparent that the schools would need assistance with classroom maintenance, scheduling, development of technological plans, and purchasing equipment, an appropriation was made for the purpose of allocating funding to support the maintenance of the video sites at the K-12 schools, community colleges, Board of Regents’ universities and Area Education Agencies (AEAs) as well as the technology planning and the scheduling of video sessions via the ICN Network for those connections that are owned or the lease is paid for by the State. In the early days, the appropriation also was used to fund the salaries of five technicians at Iowa Public Television (IPTV) as well as the training for educators and staff. The 15 RTC areas are defined by the Community College areas and supported by the regional community college. Role of IPTV and transfer of functions to ICNPrior to formation of the ICN as an independent agency, IPTV provided many of the support tasks that the ICN currently provides to the video site users. Most of these tasks have migrated from IPTV to ICN, including video scheduling and technical support. The remaining task that IPTV continues to perform for educational users is the allocation of an appropriation to the RTCs for subsidization of classroom maintenance, regional scheduling and LAN/Technology planning support.

- November ITTC meeting Joe Cassis and I presented a business model for allocation of the RTC funds that was usage based and incentive driven. Phased in approach – as we are moving forward phasing in to the new model may be a two year process. It may take the first year to make sure that the tracking processes are collecting the information that we need. As ICN adopts the web based Service manager system, we may want to incorporate some of the tracking instruments we are proposing today into that model.

- Implementing tracking for ALL three functions to show extensiveness of RTC supportTransparency and Accountability FocusExpanded Guidelines – Cover the entire process . Allocation provided in two partsSign off by CFOs for both Plans and Reports AEAs and CCsMonthly RTC tracking submission to ICN – The report requirement at the end of the Fiscal year will be shorter and based on region wide observations rather than functional areas since that information has already been gathered using the tracking mechanisms.Shorter report completion time frames – These will be apparent to you when Lori walks you through the timeline.Des Moines School District – Only school district receiving funding. In FY 11 the only site that DMS has up is Orchard Place which was billed for 15 .6 video hours for the FY11. DMACC provides scheduling services for them and received $7,278.Allocations not released until documents/tracking receivedRandom spot reviews for RTCs – Each RTC will receive a review at least once every 5 years.
- Formula - Each CC receives $41,850 plus number of sites ($815.10) Three regions 2, 9, and 15 will have an allocation that is slightly less than last year (due to a reduction in the number of video sites that they will need to support)
- Inconsistency.From the information received, we don’t know what classrooms need support.
- Insufficient information.
- Inconsistent information. RTC B provided the information as requested. RTC A did not. If the ITTC moves toward
