Board approves iPad purchase for K–2 assessments and ratifies director of technology contract
Summary
The board approved buying Apple iPads to support K–2 and special education assessments and ratified a new director of technology hire; staff emphasized the urgency of devices for early‑February screening and the role of the new director in stabilizing district systems.
District staff asked the board to approve a contract to purchase Apple iPads for teachers in grades K–2 and for special education use, explaining the devices support the DIBELS screener and Woodcock‑Johnson assessment tools and allow easier login for younger students. The presenter said the iPads were needed ahead of early‑February screening and noted that teachers and RSP staff would be assigned devices for assessment work.
The board also ratified the employment contract for a new director of technology. A district representative described the hire as essential for secure and reliable systems and to relieve the superintendent of daily technology duties. Both items were approved by voice vote.
