Staff members submitted requests for technology, which were rated by members of the Technology Committee. The goal was to invest about $15,000 in these requests. A Chromebook cart was requested by four different high school classrooms. After talking to the four teachers who made the requests, this was consolidated into a single request for Chromebooks to be shared. This received the best rating by the Technology Committee. The second best rating was a tie between a sound system for the kindergarten and a projector system for the elementary gym. The total of these three requests is $16,251. We budgeted $2,994 of the technology bond annually for miscellaneous needs, so the additional cost will be taken from that area. Motion carries 6-0
