Superintendent of MIS. Public Content These proposed changes to the Digital Classroom Plan will allow the Okaloosa County School District to pursue a Single Sign-on Platform that will increase access to the District’s current online programs for all OCSD employees and students. Changes in the acquisition of additional Laptops/Chromebooks and their subsequent support costs (III.B.2 and III.B.3) was made possible by the savings in seat costs with CACI and OCSD. Other funds were able to be moved due to free access to educational sites (TIMS) and an increased use of online IT training. Also, this increase in non-face-to-face training will reduce the need for substitutes, decreasing that cost.
