Replace Computers and Devices for Students, Teachers & Staff

Project Scope

This project will replace all devices that have become end-of-life that support staff and students across the district. Most of this equipment is on a five-year life cycle.

  • Replace elementary, middle, and high school laptops and devices, such as iPads and Chromebooks
  • Replace staff devices 
  • Replace networked printers and document cameras

Project Status

LISD is currently using computer & device replacement funds from Bond 2021. Once that runs out – anticipated in Spring 2025 – LISD will begin purchasing devices with Bond 2023 funds.

Actual Cost

Due to the nature of this project and the relatively short life span of some technology devices, this project is an ongoing budgetary requirement.

It’s important to note that assets financed by the bonds that have a shorter asset life are sold with shorter maturities that align with their useful life.

Chromebooks for all 2nd-grade Students

Chromebook

Project Scope

Purchase a Chromebook device for all 2nd-grade elementary students.

The Texas Education Agency is revising the Technology Application TEKS standards to require typing for 2nd-grade students. Additionally, all STAAR exams will be administered online. By providing 2nd-grade students access to Chromebooks, this will allow students to learn typing on a physical keyboard in preparation for online assessments and enhance student’s digital competency.

The purchase would expand the district’s 1:1 student-to-device ratio to include 2nd grade. 

Project Status

  • April 2024
    Chromebooks have been delivered to campuses.
  • The plan is to have devices in classrooms by the beginning of Spring 2024.
  • Fall 2023
    ITS is currently in the process of purchasing 2nd-grade devices and computer carts.
