Digital district is that those become dynamic and so that students are interacting with them on a screen rather than simply printing them out and looking at them on the screen. Thank you. That was a good short answer, i appreciate that. And then the last question i had, which was on slide 15, which talks about the Digital District will be executed over a three year period. I guess im going to ask a couple of questions and maybe you can give me a paragraph of an answer. Im curious and maybe you m...

Were not reaching. Commissioner maufus. Thank you. I had in regards, i just want to make a comment to what you said commissioner norton. I can understand that sort of thinking which would get us over a huge hump and serve so many families, but i also see that as disadvantaging the families, that really we need to get to as well because that puts them behind them again. And thats always sort of the balance were trying not to do thats not my intent at all. Of course not. I just wanted to note that...

An putting it on a four year refresh cycle and i think we need to do that. One of my questions for you is have you identified actually funding for this or is it more like this is an ask as part of the fundamental development strategy. Ill take a first stab at it. Great question. Its a yes and yes. So were actually looking at identifying funding that would address the laptop issue for educator as part of our general fund, but also is going to be an ask that were asking from private funders as wel...

Officer at the School District. We will be planning a Powerpoint Presentation up here as we get this set up i will be asking superintendent carranza to kick off the the purpose of the Digital District plan is if i can get my password in here. Superintendent carranza, if you could explain the need for Digital District man. Thank you. Commissioners, in our public weve been talking about our vision 2025, which has been our yearlong process for identifying what is the vegs for educating our children...

The productivity tools that we shouldnt delineate between what the adults and students use. All students should be using office suites, all students should be using google apps. Those are things we should make traction on quickly. The next piece, the deep and expand, thats the idea that where we need to go, where students have not only the curricula available to them, but they have a box of tool, Digital Tools and they make the decisions on how they use the tools to solve the problems that are p...

The next thing we need to do is we dont really have a very clear picture of all the devices that are out there, which schools have which devices, which software is on there. So its critical we implement a comprehensive Management System. Our finance department has already started that work to roll out the system for next year and his teams already going to auditing to see whats out there. The other thing i want to do is that pretty much every School District has this history of they get one time...

Were only at 7 percent right now. Devices need to be current and reliable. If theyre more than 4 years old, that the time devices start having issues and become unusable. We need to get one to one device ratio, right now were 1 to [inaudible] device ratio. At the early years prek through 5, we need a mix of tablets and laptops. Then sixth through eighth thats where the shift starts going. Then grades nine through 12 we allow students o bring their own device, however there will be a district fun...

Mark their application, but i do have that information. I was just curious as appointments come up if you could provide that information, it would be very informative for us. It is on the application as well, so if its not marked i can follow up. Not about the individual candidates, but the make up of the counsel. Commissioner wynns. Thank you. I want to really thank you for this. This is weve come a long way. I have to confess, i havent read every page, but i went through the assessment, its re...

So were actually looking at identifying funding that would address the laptop issue for educator as part of our general fund, but also is going to be an ask that were asking from private funders as well to help us move forward. I think it makes sense for us to have a three year refresh cycle so were always getting the latest equipment in place, but its been a fascinating journey because it also requires you have a really robust acid Management System where you can track and account for that kind...

It is predominantly female. Currently we have and i can send you the appointment list as well. We have one male this is something thats questioned as far as ethnic background. I want to go back to how people mark their application, but i do have that information. I was just curious as appointments come up if you could provide that information, it would be very informative for us. It is on the application as well, so if its not marked i can follow up. Not about the individual candidates, but the ...
