Subcommittee forwards five‑year technology plan and staffing requests to full committee
Summary
After reviewing a working five‑year technology plan that included maximizing E‑Rate Category 2 funding, inventory consolidation and AI pilots, the subcommittee voted to forward the plan to the full committee for implementation beginning April 1, 2026.
The subcommittee voted to forward a draft five‑year technology plan to the full committee with an implementation start date of April 1, 2026. The plan presented by the CIO is a working document that proposes maximizing E‑Rate Category 2 funding for a districtwide Wi‑Fi upgrade, conducting a system‑wide technology inventory, piloting AI tools for HR and transportation, and refreshing hardware (350 teacher laptops and 1,000 student Chromebooks).
The CIO said an inventory system would allow the district to catalog switches, access points and cameras in a single repository; she and a colleague tested software that uses stickers and scanning to build a master inventory. The CIO also suggested potential AI use cases for routing and for an HR bot to automate application and onboarding paperwork.
A committee member moved to forward the plan to the full committee and set April 1 as an implementation start; the motion was seconded and recorded as approved by members present. Committee members requested that the five‑year plan be aligned with the district strategic plan when that document is finalized.
Next steps: the plan will be presented to the full committee; CIO will provide a consolidated inventory approach and link the technology plan to the forthcoming strategic plan.
