Discussion:Implementation Phase-In <br /> Funding availability requires that retrofitting buildings be completed in phases. New buildings are <br /> not included in the following phase-in plan. It is assumed that high quality voice, data and video <br /> infrastructure will be included in all new schools. <br /> The Committee recommends retrofitting phase-in as follows: <br /> Phase 1 (1994-96): Upgrade phone systems and media centers in all existing schools to a basic <br /> standard. Retrofit CHHS for data and video networking. <br /> Phase 2 (1996-97): Retrofit middle schools for data and video networking. <br /> Phase 3 (1997-99): Retrofit elementary schools for data and video networking. Retrofit Lincoln <br /> Center for data networking. <br /> Retrofitting Phase-In <br /> 94-95 95-96 96-97 97-98 98-99 <br /> Media Automation Ep, Es, Fp, GI, <br /> Se, Ph <br /> Phones Es,GI,Ph.

This would be <br /> reduced somewhat for four years to establish the infrastructure,but increased in 98-99. <br /> *** Reserve for new schools <br /> It is important to note that this study did not include a discussion of the upgrading of electrical <br /> systems that might be needed to support additional technology in some schools. <br /> 12 <br />
