Over the last two months, the district's Technology Steering Committee has been reviewing the possibility of moving from MacBooks to Chromebooks for high school students.
After careful consideration, we have decided to move forward with a transition to Chromebooks. The Chromebooks allow students to access our web-based resources, Schoology, and all things Google (Drive, Docs, Slides, etc.) Rising costs for MacBooks, reduction in buy-back price, and increased costs for repairs are all factors that were considered in this decision.
Here is the timeline for moving forward:
-
May 2023 - Current 9th-grade student MacBooks will be exchanged for new Chromebooks. Current 8th-grade students will also receive a new Chromebook.
-
23-24 School Year - 9th and 10th-grade students will have Chromebooks. 11th and 12th grade students will have their current MacBooks.
-
24-25 School Year - 9th, 10th and 11th grade students will have Chromebooks. 12th-grade students will have their current MacBooks.
-
25-26 School Year - All students will have Chromebooks.
