• Technology Toolkit Timeline
    The District has developed a three-phase plan for launching the technology toolkit in order to ensure the toolkit is implemented in the most effective way for students and staff. This plan will allow the District to maximize its existing resources while providing appropriate professional development opportunities for staff. The three-phase rollout also gives the District the flexibility to make adjustments to the toolkit based on evolving technology and the needs of each school.
