The capital is from 'free cash' and what is available after the winter snow storms have been covered.
overview of the process, not as formal as the operating budget timeline
first priority is STEM Labs
looking to bring parity to the middle schools3D printers, robot center
assist with 8th grade transition to the high school
also would help to support the coding initiatives that the State is looking to foster
did pilot at Horace Mann this year to see how well it would go
$100,000 per lab x times schools
Edwards - maynnot have much start up time involved, more in curriculum development, the teachers professional development can be covered with in the existing development budget line
Raposa - we can add some money with the purchase to include some professional development time, either with the rep or as part of the deal
Edwards - other schools will be able to participate with Horace Mann when they get their training this year
2nd and 3rd priority
Chromebooks and carts, middle school level for 8th and for elementary school s district widethis prepares for PARC testing
Chromebooks are 1:1 at the high school, these would be shared devices and used for only in-school use
O'Malley - I would hate to have the discussion and approval of these to be derailed by the politics of PARC
replace the PA system at JFK
had been transplanted from Oak St (about 2004) had been a replacement of the original JFK system; is not working in all places, is not a safety concern but an inconvenience; can work with the vendor to get the dark spots corrected but should go forward with the upgrade to be more compatible with the other buildingsreplace carpeting at Davis Thayer
looking to spruce up the school, modulars coming down this summerworking with Facilities to spruce up the school
no summer programs at the school this summer
will also allow some work to be done during the summer
Trahan - any thought of replacing carpet with other flooring?
Sabolinski - it is softer for the kids to be on
Special Education van request
12 vans - from 2003, a wheel chair van not in good conditionused purely as a spare van but really should be replaced
this would be replaced by a non-wheel chair van, equiped like the most recent two purchases;
