I-Pad Purchasing
Some possible options
Our PAC has included $5000.00 in their budget this year for the purchase of I-Pads to support student learning, with the understanding that the school matches the funds, which we have agreed to:)
So I have outlined the possible breakdown of these costs below. Please talk in your grade group and we'll make some decisions at the January Staff Meeting.
Cost Comparison I-Pads vs I-Pad Minis
I-Pad Costs
I-Pad/Cover/Tax $494.47
X 20 $9889.40
I-Pad mini Costs
Mini - I-Pad/Cover/Tax $387.55
X 26 $10,076.30
The Plan?
If we were to get I-Pads or Minis, we could also ask the PAC to commit to this same model for next year, which would mean we would have 8 devices per grade group this school year and 11 next year.
We'll discuss at the January Staff Meeting.
