Additional Information on Computer Technology Upgrades
Upgrade the 27 outdated computers in classrooms that are hooked up to the Smartboards and are used for instruction. The machines in those classrooms were installed in April of 2008. Subsequently, these machines have been maintained for the last eight years in order to increase their longevity and ensure they are all running correctly. Unfortunately, these machines are out of coverage and cannot support the current version of Google Chrome or run the latest software needed for instruction (e.g. Smartboard software).
