An advisory committee is currently being formed to plan what the next device will be in Englewood to continue being a 1:1 school district. The goal is to have input from many people with many perspectives and opinions about our student's future devices. This committee will
advise district leadership and the Board of Education as to what device will be used to continue our vision of being a 1:1 school district. The timeline of this committee will range from January 2017 to about May 2018.

The timeline is as follows:

Phase 1: Form committee (January 2017)
Phase 2: Teaching and Learning Outcomes (April 2017)
Phase 3: Hardware Tests (October 2017)
Phase 4: RFP Writing (January 2018)
Phase 5: Superintendent signs off (February 2018)
Phase 6: Review Proposals (April 2018)
Phase 7: Recommendations (May 2018)

The committee is representative of many stakeholders in the district. The members of this
committee include Patty Morand, Matt Kuhn, Kristi Weaver, Ryan West, Sam Irving, Scott Silva,
Beth Hankle, Kay Bolerjack, Jaime Adams, Catherine Lawrence, Shanna Martin, and Dynette

We look forward to exploring the many options available to our students and aligning them with
