1:1 initiative
Ron Back, JCD technology director, reported on the Jac-Cen-Del Jr/Sr High School/Elementary 1:1 Initiative. Each high school student will receive an HP215G1 Laptop. Grades 3-6 will receive an iPad 4. Grades K-2 will receive an iPad mini.
A grant from the Gilmore and Golda Reynolds Foundation of $125,000 allowed for the purchase of the iPad 4, iPad 4 cases and configuration blocks for the iPads. A grant from the Rising Sun Regional Foundation of $30,000 allowed purchase of Case Logic bags for the HP215G1 student laptops. The remainder of the grant, $22,800 will be used to purchase the iPad mini cases and carts for grades K-2.
Back said “We have been working diligently to fund our 1:1 project through outside sources and looking at many cost saving measures. Due to negotiations for better pricing, purchasing up front instead of leasing, and cost savings in other areas, we have been able to cut $72,853 off of the proposed technology budget that was presented to the board in December of 2013.
“Our Tech Team of Perry Nash, Amelia Comer, Michelle Adams, Dee Budd and Mary Beth Hackman and I have been meeting regularly in preparation for the 1:1 rollout.
“We are currently finishing up the cabling portion of the camera project. We hope to start mounting cameras within the next week. All cameras should be installed in the next three to four weeks. I would like to thank the following people for their hard work this summer: Helen Lohrum, Mary Busch, Spencer Huffmeyer, Joe Harlemert, Coleen Duncan and Hunter Little.”
