Sept+16

Agenda


 * Roll Out Update
 * Where is your school in terms of getting the laptops out to the students?
 * Harmon--60 computers not deployed...some kids still waiting to make payments/service learning; count in advisory as to how many students do not have laptops; 3 students check in and out daily.
 * FC--too many don't have them...AU forms are not being brought back
 * Washington--253 students without laptops, not bringing in.
 * Wyandotte--Wed only deployment--over 300 don't have them,many are saying their parents don't want them to have them.
 * Sumner--handful, coming slowly but surely. For parents, it's a budget issue.
 * Schlagle--about 300, over half won't be getting them and students don't want them.
 * FLC--13 check outs; many that have not been transferred over; September 23--another roll out 4:30 - 6:00
 * What do you want to make sure that you do again with next year's roll out?
 * Schlagle--payment separate from the roll out which happened during school
 * FLC--same as Schlagle
 * Washington--deployment before school started worked well; leave freshmen for last, but still have days separated by grade levels
 * Sumner--Jrs & Srs and Soph & extras and Freshmen
 * Wyandotte & Harmon--FA Day brought in more parents than what they had before and work with them on School Loop
 * What do you want to make sure that you do differently with next year's roll out?
 * Really push the community service at the end of this year.
 * Firm in deadlines in terms of getting machines (taking up too much of the Tech's time); near the end--it will be set times
 * District-wide: try not to double up
 * Clean the laptops before they are turned back in--community service and digital connectors
 * Make sure that senior machines are separated and ready to go for freshmen.
 * Make sure that FLC student machines stay at FLC.
 * Get plans out to parents BEFORE the end of the school year so that parents know everything that they have to do and have in order for preparation.

 * Schlagle--didn't really use them; had a couple of School Loop training; needing them
 * Sumner--inservices during Wednesday afternoon; not regularly scheduled; break outs (teacher choice) or some were based on School Loop
