District Announces One-to-One Device Plan for 2019-2020 School Year

October 12, 2018—Today, the District announced a Chromebook purchase and distribution timeline that aims to create a District-wide, one-device-to-one-student learning environment for grades 5-12 by the 2019-2020 school year. 

“Our District vision is to provide all students with access to technology that supports 21st century learning and skill development,” says John Rizzo, Executive Director of Technology and Media Services. “We all know that technology is constantly changing—this plan enables us to respond proactively to those changes.”

The rollout will begin this year, with an increase in the number of classroom-assigned Chromebooks for Grades K-4. In 2019-2020, the District will assign Chromebooks to all students in Grades 5-12.

The District is still in the process of developing policies and procedures for student Chromebook use and distribution. Stay tuned to shaker.org for more updates.
