The 2014-2015 Digital Classroom Plan originally set aside funds for personnel
(other compensation, substitutes, etc.) to support the District EOC
assessment life cycle at a time when Florida Statute required an EOC for
every course in the district. Now that this statute has been revised and the
district no longer requires an EOC for every course in the district, these funds
are available to be used in other ways.
Approval is requested to repurpose funds within the 2014-2015 Digital
Classroom Plan as follows: a total of $63,710.20 from Salaries and Other
Personnel Services moved to support Chromebooks in classrooms, the
