District nears distribution of 2,500 Chromebooks as part of scheduled refresh
Summary
Arcadia Unified’s technology office reported it has nearly completed distributing about 2,500 Chromebooks across grade levels as part of a four‑year refresh cycle and noted a sharp uptick in help‑desk requests and system integrations this fall.
The district technology office told the board that initial school‑year activity has produced over 700 help‑desk requests and that IT staff are managing roughly 70 separate system integrations. As part of the device refresh schedule, the district is nearly finished distributing approximately 2,500 Chromebooks; the district follows a four‑year refresh cycle and targets distribution at grade levels that align with that cycle (1st, 5th and 9th grades, and kindergarten refresh this year).
"We are in the process and almost complete with distributing 2,500 Chromebooks," Mr. Ghazanian said, noting the district’s library and site staff have helped manage distributions. Technology leaders said the work is intensive but critical to give students up‑to‑date devices and minimize login and access issues linked to expanded integrations.
