Pilot programs are being scaled with the intent of impacting all students. Districts and schools are aggressively seeking new funds and reprioritizing existing funds for more equitable access and opportunity. Discretionary funding is tied to these filters. And, as annual allocations are provided to all schools, guidelines are in place to ensure that consideration is given to such solutions. The school system is learning lessons from pilots, understanding what support systems are required to leverage investments.
Plans are in the works to provide such support systems on an ongoing basis.
The school system is analyzing the total cost of ownership for their district and comparing that to revenue sources available to them. The school's budget for technology includes entitlements that ensure acceptable levels of access for all students, plus support for research and development to continue innovations, research, and development. The school system has established the support structures that students, administrators, educators, parents, and community members require to take full advantage of technology for learning and teaching. The school system has analyzed the total cost of ownership of technology and is budgeting in the near and long-term in accordance with that analysis. All Rights Reserved.
