Information:
Charging stations are needed for Chromebooks to charge in the classroom overnight for daily student use. In addition, the short timeline of this project requires engaging with a contractor to assist district staff with implementation.
Background:
At the start of the 2019-20 school year, student Chromebooks in grades K thru 6 were housed in classrooms, moved with students as needed throughout the school day, and very rarely left school campuses. During the pivot to remote learning, classroom charging bundles were dismantled and repurposed to support a take-home model. Since that time, the expectation has remained that students in all grades would take Chromebooks home on a daily basis, in order to be prepared to pivot to a remote learning scenario as needed with little disruption to learning.
Starting in September, Chromebooks for PreK to 6th grade will generally stay on campus. Teachers and families can decide if/when a student may take a Chromebook home, per https://www.edmonds.wednet.edu/news/details/~board/district-2022-23-only-district/post/chromebook-take-home-changes. Charging stations will be needed again in all district elementary classrooms, in order to provide safe and efficient storage and charging of all elementary student Chromebooks.
District technology staff conducted a needs analysis and evaluated more than 30 Chromebook charging solutions. During the information gathering process, feedback from certificated staff consistently prioritized minimizing the space that charging stations would require in the classroom. In addition, charging stations that can be placed throughout the classroom will help to streamline the daily process of distributing and collecting Chromebooks within each classroom. Lastly, the options that were considered had a wide range of costs and with a short timeline, products that had limited availability, exceeded available funding, or were unable to commit to our timeline requirements, could not be considered.
The district recommends the approval of these purchases to provide charging stations for student devices in K-6 grade classrooms. The materials will be purchased using a cooperative contract which satisfies federal purchasing requirements. Services under $250,000 do not require bids.
