  10. Resolution A • Funds are awarded by City Council • 150 Queens Schools Awarded • Updated Reso A Process

  11. Reso A - Awards in 5 Boroughs

  12. Reso A Updated Process Effective September 2008

  13. Overall Process • Awards list is published by CFO’s office. • Schools complete the online Technology Walkthrough Survey.http://portal.nycboe.net/sites/FinanceAdmin/CFO/Lists/RESOA%20Walkthrough%20Form/overview.aspx • School completes online selection form:http://portal.nycboe.net/sites/FinanceAdmin/CFO/Lists/RESO%20A/NewForm.aspx • School may request an onsite technology consultation from the Office of Instructional Technology. http://procon.nycenet.edu/projectconnect/files/ResoAFY2009Letter.pdf • CFOs office assigns integration vendor to each school. • Integration vendor works with school to order and install the hardware. • Considerations include: • Necessary data cabling and / or electrification.

  14. What options are available using Reso A funds? • Option A: Classroom Configurations: Under this option, all funds will be spent on classroom computer configurations, networking, and minor electrification as needed. • Option B: Mobile Lab: Schools can use their awards to purchase Laptop mobile carts. These are equipped with 14-16 laptops within a secured mobile cart. This option is a great idea for a quick purchase for schools with low awards • Option C: Existing Lab Upgrade: Under this option, funds will be spent to refresh computers, peripherals, networking equipment, security devices, tables, and chairs in an existing computer lab, using a template to assure timely completion. Lab upgrades generally cost approximately $75,000 and up. • Option D: Wireless technologies: Under this option, funds will be spent to purchase laptop and/or desktop computers equipped with wireless networking cards, transmitters, printers, etc. Projects may include wireless labs or classrooms. Each school’s requirements will be individually assessed. • Option E: Presentation Stations: Schools can choose to use their RESO A funding to purchase presentation carts, laptops, projectors and SmartBoards for classrooms. • Option F: Upgrade Classroom Electrification: Schools can choose to use their RESO A funding to upgrade, reconfigure electrical infrastructure in the current Lab environment to meet the instructional needs. Any funding remaining after the scope is complete can be used to purchase other options (A thru E).

  15. Changes to the Selection Form • The Selection Form is now online! http://portal.nycboe.net/sites/FinanceAdmin/CFO/Lists/RESO%20A/NewForm.aspx • New resources are available on the Reso A website (Selection Form, School Technology Walkthrough Survey). • Schools can use funding to procure classroom presentation stations. • Schools can opt for an onsite technology consultation.

  16. School Onsite Technology Consultations • Representatives from OIT can organize onsite consultations to help schools plan for spending Reso A funds focusing on the following: • Existing hardware and software • Professional development • School infrastructure • Schools can ask for a consultation via the online form, or by calling their Borough Instructional Technology Directors.

  17. Electrification/Cabling (Option F) • For instances where an electrical/data cabling upgrade or reconfiguration is needed, the integration team will determine the requirements in order to support the new Reso A hardware and the Reso A PMO/BTM will review. • Minor Electrical/Data cabling is only eligible in support of NEW Reso A hardware. As a guideline, costs for cabling should not exceed 50% of the allocation total. • The Reso A PMO will arrange for a cabling survey and provide the school with a project change request (PCR) for the cabling scope and cost (to be funded by the Reso A allocation). The principal may approve or decline this request at this point. • The Reso A team will initiate, monitor and close out the additional cabling project to ensure it happens in coordination with the HW purchasing efforts for a timely project completion. • Extensive cabling is considered a construction project rather then a technology project. Schools in this scenario will be transferred to the SCA for management.
