District leaders and technology staff reviewed classroom technology deployments, pilots and teacher training during the workshop.

Miss Baron and technology staff told trustees the district is 1:1 with iPads in kindergarten through third grade and has piloted two schools (Plew and Pryor) as full 1:1 Apple schools; pilot students may be permitted to take devices home as soon as the second semester, pending rollout decisions. The district intends over time to replace Chromebooks with iPads but noted Chromebooks still serve a role where on‑device keyboards are needed.

The district reported roughly 760 ClearTouch interactive panels already installed; several schools (Northwood, Riverside, Shalimar, Elliott Point, Longwood, Mariester, Pryor, Destin Middle, Bruner) were listed as complete with ClearTouch panels in every classroom. Technology staff said panels were prioritized in specific subject areas (e.g., third‑grade ELA and math, algebra/geometry, foundational math, ninth/tenth grade ELA) where data showed need and that those areas showed improvement following deployments.

PRISMS virtual‑reality headsets (initially funded through a Florida Power & Light grant) are in selected schools for math and science lessons; staff said VR supports engagement and can simulate labs or scenarios for students who might otherwise lack access. The technology team described an extensive professional‑learning effort: hundreds of trainings, dozens of school‑sponsored sessions, and one‑on‑one teacher consultations to support classroom integration.

The presentation emphasized the district’s staged, data‑driven rollout and training approach; staff noted the effort is ongoing and depends on budget and device‑management refinements.
