CPS plans $56 million for network upgrades, plus funding for security and custodial equipment
Summary
CPS officials said the FY27 plan includes over $56 million for technology upgrades (supported partly by $4.7 million in federal E-rate funds), roughly $8.5 million for security equipment, and $5.5 million to insource custodial equipment.
Vinny Dye told the hearing that FY27 includes more than $56,000,000 for network infrastructure and technology to improve connectivity and replace aging hardware across schools. He noted $4,700,000 of outside funding from federal E-rate programs and added that the budget includes about $8,500,000 for security equipment and $5,500,000 for continued insourcing of custodial equipment.
District staff said these technology and security investments are intended to improve equitable connectivity, replace outdated hardware, and enhance building safety while supporting ongoing operations for students and staff.
