• Key Observations: – Tools for students are inadequate & disproportionately available because some schools are able to augment

district-provided technology, and others benefit from Construction Levy funding.

– Tools for teachers and school staff are insufficient, outdated, and do not support 21st Century Instructional Models.

– Current general and levy funding levels cover basic maintenance/operations.

– Information Security is not at the level desired by the District, and does not fully align with best processes andcontrols (ISO 27001).

– End-Users (teachers, administrators, parents, community members, etc.) across the District lack easy access tonecessary information to do their jobs.
