9) Discuss/Approve the purchase of technology for High School Campus to go 1 to 1. Enabling the campus to begin purchasing e-textbooks.
|
|
|
Description:
I had mentioned this in our May meeting and feel it will be a good investment for the future of our kids. E-Textbooks are cheaper than paper books and I believe this would be a great move at this time. Just estimating (we are hoping to have a good quote by Monday night) I believe we can purchase every high school kid as well as every teacher a chromebook , insurance and a case for less than $60,000. We estimate we can save close to $20,000 on textbooks alone over the course of 3 years for this campus. That is conservative. When you consider on AVERAGE a new textbook costs $80/student each year there is an adoption. For example, 2014-15 HS adoption is science, then 15-16 is math and social studies. There is not enough funding available to buy all paper textbooks with the state allotment. This will be a fund balance expenditure at this time. We are still projecting final expenditures/revenues for this year. Possible motion: "I move the board approve an allotment not to exceed $60,000 to purchase technology devices for a 1 to 1 ratio at the high school campus using funds from fund balance." A second is required.

10)b. Administrators Salaries
|
|
|
Description:
