File Attachment:
Summary: Secondary Campus staff has requested that we purchase Chrome Carts for all classrooms. Currently we have Chrome Carts in Core Classrooms. Having a Chromebook cart in each classroom offers several key benefits. It enhances the learning experience by integrating technology into lessons, making them more interactive and engaging, and promoting digital literacy. It also ensures equal access for all students, promoting digital equity. Additionally, it improves efficiency by eliminating the need for constant movement and scheduling of carts, allowing teachers to focus on instruction. Moreover, it encourages higher accountability for maintenance, as teachers and students will take better care of the devices. Finally, consistent access to Chromebooks supports diverse learning needs by allowing teachers to use various educational apps and resources to cater to different learning styles and abilities. The RFP will be for 5,675 Chromebooks, 152 carts and Google licenses. The closing date of the RFP is Dec 4, 2024. We have requested delivery be no longer than 30 days if possible. This will allow distribution of the carts to start in January.
