In developing a plan to purchase and replace individual digital devices such as laptop computers and tablets, LISD considers the following: instructional needs of staff & students, specialized career and technical education program needs; classroom educational specs; state guidelines and expectations, device life expectancy, current inventory, rates of repair; and stakeholder feedback.
In LISD, students in grades PK-3 have access to a classroom set of digital devices (laptop or tablet) and each student in grades 4-12 is issued a personal device (laptop or tablet). Staff also use technology for teaching, learning and communication. These devices must be replaced periodically and the replacement budget must accommodate inflation.
Prop C provides funds for regular maintenance, replacement and support for:
- Staff devices
- 1:X devices grades 4-12
- Class set devices PK-3
- Program specific devices (Ex: CTE)
- Shared technologies
- Classroom technologies such as Apple pencils and document cameras
- Related professional services
