Studies, research, standards, governance and technology needs for the state and districts playing a critical role in executing the Master Plan were also identified. ​ ​

The document is reflective of the Kentucky Department of Education's KETS Master Plan as it had progressed in the first 12 years of its existence. (1988 -2000)  This document provided information on the successes enjoyed over those years and additionally anticipated the progress Kentucky's education technology would make in the future.

1992 Master Plan

The development of this Kentucky's first education technology plan, was a challenge. Possibly the most difficult aspect of this effort was overcoming the penchant of shareholders to want to see everything in operation "right away". This, of course, was not possible since the Kentucky Education Technology System (KETS) was at first just a vision of the future. One that must first be "believed in" before it could be "seen"!
 
Undaunted by the absence of a blueprint verified by others, the people who wrote this plan succeeded in designing the future. In the final analysis, they did so because they were people of vision, who cared deeply about Kentucky's children.
