The board reviewed several technology items on the work session agenda, including a DocuSign annual renewal that would run Dec. 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, and a Clear Touch interactive board purchase and mounting hardware to replace a failed high school classroom smart board and to mount existing units at an elementary school.
Administrators also presented a Bloxels quote for second‑grade STEAM curriculum: a kit that combines physical game‑board components and accompanying software. Board members raised questions about the pedagogical value relative to other tools such as Minecraft EDU and existing coding platforms, asked whether the program is a year‑long project or a short unit, and sought clarity about licensing (the packet referenced a 300‑student school bundle and "3 25" licenses in discussion). Technology and curriculum staff said Bloxels is part of a progression from hands‑on board games to coding (with later use of code.org) and that they would confirm with teachers whether ongoing app access is required after the unit and how the license distribution would be handled.
No vote was taken at the work session on these items; the DocuSign renewal and equipment purchases were presented as part of the consent/technology agenda and will be handled in the business meeting as listed on the agenda.
