A. The district has established an obsolescence cycle that refreshes devices over time so all or most devices are not replaced all at once. Currently new devices are issued to incoming 6th and 9th graders. Six grade students use the same device for their middle school experience while 9th grades keep theirs through grade 12. Elementary devices are typically replaced after 4 years. The new touch devices have features that enhance the learning experience for all areas but especially in math. The cost of this technology has dropped making it now feasible for implementation.
