Bill Blair, the Instructional Technology Integrator, told trustees the district currently has approximately 11,563 devices assigned directly to students and teachers for the 2024-25 school year. He said these counts exclude Windows desktops, classroom laptops and iPads assigned to staff or special programs.

Blair said the IT department has processed about 8,825 student device returns dating back to February; returns included devices that would not turn on, would not hold a charge, or were otherwise damaged and in need of repair. He said the increase in returns was partly due to some devices reaching end of life and being unable to run newer online curriculum programs.

Blair also reported that approximately 626 Promethean active panels have been installed and teachers trained across pre-K to grade 12 classrooms. He described training sessions for the Promethean panels that typically run about an hour and a half and can be delivered virtually to large groups.

Joe DePaul (presented as \"Joe\" in the meeting), who spoke about budgeting and equipment lifecycle planning, said the district has monitored expenditures across several technology categories and is planning replacements for aging equipment, notably Windows laptops in classrooms and teacher Chromebooks issued during the pandemic. DePaul described the budgeting work as consolidated into four high-level categories for planning purposes; he said current expenditures are in line with expectations for the prior two years.

On device distribution and end-of-life planning, Blair said the district gives parents the option to keep devices over the summer; schools retain devices for families who choose not to take them home and IT reissues those devices once charged and inspected before the next school year.

Board members asked questions about reliability of teacher panels and the extent of teacher training. Blair said older panels installed under earlier grants were recently replaced and that replacements are driven by software and update compatibility rather than immediate hardware failure. He described a training plan to improve consistency across the district's onboarding process so new teachers receive required training for district accounts, gradebooks and classroom hardware.

Ending: The IT presenters did not request board action; they asked the board to note planned replacements and training modules and answered trustees' questions about timelines and device lifecycle management.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Directors Meeting February 12, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Erie City School District IT staff told the board the district currently has about 11,563 devices assigned to students and teachers, processed roughly 8,825 student device returns since February, installed 626 Promethean active panels, and plans to replace aging laptops and Chromebooks while expanding teacher training.","taxTitle","Erie City SD, School Districts, Pennsylvania","taxId",14585,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6666930,"Erie City School District spotlights Black History Month programming; inaugural middle-school quiz bowl set for Feb. 22",593,1697000,2290000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2292465-f039c73833f57f97cadeb1b5a69c624c&start=1697&end=2290","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2292465-f039c73833f57f97cadeb1b5a69c624c/thumbnail_1697000.jpg","/articles/6666930/Pennsylvania/Erie-City-School-District-spotlights-Black-History-Month-programming-inaugural-middle-school-quiz-bowl-set-for-Feb-22","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6666930-8d249fb3316d88fed11a4cdbc837f393/orig.mp4?Expires=1776080624&Signature=NzPyqQ8Ivpqn7E5PINzG05to~mpeBqyzleecZwlvjr~r5iJnmscnWOrkHoCFDVVToEBek2zHMxTLhNK-lcu9V3LVXmG8X37AbDBkyZGrBx9dMN-Zn76xd4QnVbWK8TZ15Ss13DcL1F2AYdTdyqT8Ye7KchgFlF9b4eITmTsHnPlv6OBrEDnM3wsTRkWa1Eng8rRhDyadFkANqQJ8qYQPp7MmqmsVAn2dg8SWifCmdUnCih0bAljhgpmJnty8wnF-AtLo2aMmeh4dEkpesvonteQlqi7n43~xEjYKf1UVwqKxWr4KkJ0n8TcsFD9RRlQ6CdaKTWOJVtQquG5nrYWaYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Erie City School District on Feb. 12 presented an overview of Black History Month activities that the district says are designed to connect students to local history and community figures through classroom lessons, student-produced videos and museum artifacts.

Superintendent Miguel Pulido asked Ken Nixon and Erica Erwin to brief the board on the district's programming. Nixon said the district focused this year on local figures \"so that we can draw a direct connection to our local community\" and to help students see people they might encounter in everyday life.

Erica Erwin outlined how lessons are structured across the month: one week focused on language and literature, the next on STEM, then art and music, and the final week on political science and social studies. The district has compiled student work, videos and resources on a dedicated webpage at eeriesd.org/blackhistory, which the presenters said will be updated weekly throughout the month.

The board heard details about several public events tied to the month. Nixon invited trustees to the district's first middle-school Black History Quiz Bowl, scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 22, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Strong Vincent Middle School. He also described revised elementary \"historical institute\" tours for fifth graders, scheduled for Feb. 27, that will lengthen tour time per group to allow more discussion.

Digital media students were highlighted during the meeting. Rob Gibson, a digital media instructor at Erie High School, introduced student speakers who described class projects producing Black History Month videos; ninth grader Marcus Crockett and senior Jabari Taylor spoke briefly about their experience in the program and the videos they produced for the month.

The presenters said the district is partnering with community groups and museums. Nixon noted an earlier visit by the True Black History Museum from Detroit and thanked community-school staff who helped host events. Erwin said the district is maintaining a public list of \"trailblazers and change makers\" who have contributed to the district.

Ending: The board received the presentations with no formal action taken; the district encouraged trustees and the public to visit eeriesd.org/blackhistory for student work and event details.","District staff described a monthlong series of classroom activities, student-produced videos, artifacts and community events for Black History Month and invited the public to a middle-school quiz bowl on Feb. 22 at Strong Vincent Middle School.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6666933,"Erie City School District board approves consent agenda; bills and payroll adopted with one abstention",2562,1669000,4231000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2292465-f039c73833f57f97cadeb1b5a69c624c&start=1669&end=4231","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2292465-f039c73833f57f97cadeb1b5a69c624c/thumbnail_1669000.jpg","/articles/6666933/Pennsylvania/Erie-City-School-District-board-approves-consent-agenda-bills-and-payroll-adopted-with-one-abstention","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6666933-ef9bc31c78e6c39335dbd856a10f294e/orig.mp4?Expires=1776080624&Signature=QoMGpTEDCdKD19vNiHm0o4kJoYU17woVBllVhQksRljgoxIkKv4yN-GL0pQ566JeLjkk5uQvrdzrD-4APqLmKW2sXK3RU9CUg0SilnIfMS-O4YtvVtv8lElkuG26kBusbtcqEs82LV7vb3JLG9Q93Xf5Q0jinVsHdEAEvY29vvRe6Z~bm52MZLgmDdYjXgB-frSYikdevATGl93xSZi8HOjqZ3Ukhtx9MePA20uLXpDApKHowjPeP5RCznJqIGFuirV6k7R3qeYGJ9RIe5Ym31zqamf9zwHp5Pac~ey5tMxzt4jeFnalTDUjrlCnS9XgtHOHCplfclFgDB8DoEyLJQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Erie City School District Board of Directors on Feb. 12 approved the meeting minutes, accepted the superintendent's report and committee reports, and adopted the consent agenda and routine financial items during its regular meeting at the District Administration Building.
