Infrastructure+and+Hardware

In order to ensure access to advanced technology for effective teaching and learning, the district will implement a 4-year replacement cycle for technology purchases. The cycle will initiate in the 2009-2010 school year. This will include school level building purchases of equipment from 2009, as well as projected purchases through 2013. All classrooms will be equipped as multimedia presentation centers. Equipment will include mounted LCD projectors, document cameras, VHS/DVD players, network connections, and a control center. There will also be a phase-in stage of new computers for the building.
