Computer Devices $60,000 (FY19) Since 2013 the district has been able to increase the
number of mobile devices in the educational program. The need for on-going computer replacement and the
addition of devices is ever increasing as the school district strives to meet the demands of computer-based state standardized testing, advances a 1:1 initiative, and provide all students with a comprehensive 21st century learning experience.
Technology Requests (FY 19)
Instructional Equipment $45,000 (FY19) The district has a need to begin to replace the technology items
in the classrooms at all three elementary schools including, SMART boards, projectors, and iPads.
Many of these devices are over ten years old and are not functioning or functioning poorly and have reached the end of their useful life.
The District has identified the need to begin a long-term plan to support the replacement of these items that have become an essential component of the elementary classroom.
Facility Plan Requests (FY19)Little School Gym Floor $40,000 (FY19)
The Little School gymnasium floor was installed in 1997 and is showing signs of deterioration as it reaches the end of its useful life.
The current floor is a plastic sectional floor and is not of the same quality with flooring at the other elementary schools
The proposed floor would be a synthetic rubber athletic floor similar to the Batchelder and Hood Schools
Includes removal and disposal of existing floor and installation of game lines
Current Floor Proposed New Floor

deterioration and are in need of repair.
