2019 Technology & Flexible Seating Updates
-
A total of 14 campuses received new classroom and campus instructional technology, and several more received new TVs, phones or network and wireless updates. Others received new library furniture or a library remodel. Several elementary campuses received new flexible seating in pod areas.
-
FISD used 2018-19 M&O funds to supplement 2014 bond funds. This allowed the District to purchase more new computers and mobile devices than campuses refreshed in prior years with 2014 bond funds, increasing the ratio of technology at refreshed campuses and beginning the rollout of the new higher standard of the 2018 bond program a year early.
2018 Renovations and Upgrades
-
Many buildings received a technology upgrade, whether new computers, mobile devices, projectors, phones, or network and wireless updates. Several schools also received new library furniture or other library updates. FISD paid for summer 2018 technology projects with surplus M&O funds instead of bond funds. While FISD does not expect to pay for these types of assets with M&O funds routinely, it is prudent when possible and frees up bond capacity for longer-term projects.
