Summary

The Technology Director proposed using Title I funds to buy one smartboard this year, moving a replaced 2018-era board into the Before and After Care room and using the new board to demonstrate advances to other staff; the committee supported phased smartboard replacements.

Dr. Matt Gordon reported that all classroom smartboards have been updated except the Before and After Care Program room, and he proposed buying one smartboard this year using Title I grant funds. The replacement would allow the district to relocate the 2018 board into the care room and let the receiving teacher demonstrate the newer board’s capabilities to other staff.

Committee members supported purchasing one smartboard this year and discussed the benefits of incremental replacements rather than purchasing many boards at once to spread costs over multiple years.
