  8. Enhancements • Reduce spending on classroom materials for teachers by 64%. • Increase spending on print fiction and non-fiction by 54% • Purchase a smart board for Media Center use.

  9. Rationale • The majority of spending this school year has gone to classroom teachers. • The collection has an average age of approximately 1997—It is in need of new print materials. • With Common Core coming the following year, and more of a focus on informational texts, it is important to increase spending in non-fiction.

  10. Rationale Cont’d • “In order to become lifelong learners who can efficiently and effectively find, evaluate, and use information, our students must have access to a variety of technological resources. Students are expected to be digital literate, which is defined as “using digital technology, communications tools and/or networks to access, manage, integrate, evaluate and create information in order to function in a knowledge society (Harada & Hughes-Hassell, 2007)”
