PHS Laptop/Technology Update – Noah Grotheer (Action/Goals 2 & 5 – Resource Management & Technology Integration)

Commentary: Each summer USD 250 invests in updates to technology in its classrooms using a three year rotation with PHS as this year's recipient. Due to budget restrictions, USD 250 is presenting the board with a partial update in the form of replacements to teacher laptops. Current teacher laptops are at least three years old, with many of them being as old as six years or more. In addition to their age, we face issues as a result of inconsistency between the various models and hardware of the laptops. 2

Old equipment will be repurposed to help fill gaps in technology elsewhere in the building.
