There were multiple Chromebooks damaged or lost due to device check-outs for remote learners in FY20 and FY21. We have now designated some Chromebooks for students on extended absences to help reduce future losses.
This proposed purchase will bring our Elementary Chromebook fleet back to a 1:1 ratio following the removal of the aforementioned devices. |
||
C. | Smoke/Vape Detection | |
We would like to install smoke/vape/noise detectors in all Junior High student bathrooms and the Elementary upstairs student bathrooms.
These will alert administration whenever the noise or particulate levels reach levels of concern, allowing administration to respond to hazards in the bathrooms which cannot be seen. |

We have implemented a wellness program facilitated by a faculty member in years past. We would like to work with a company to enhance the program. The program will be digital and can easily facilitate challenges and data collection.
