This replacement could be done on an incremental basis, as funds <br /> allow. <br /> Evidence or Reasoning for this Recommendation <br /> In order to provide staff with reliable computing devices that are compatible with modern software,we need to <br /> replace aging desktops assigned to staff throughout the district.This would mean replacing approximately staff <br /> issued desktops 8 years old and older with new Dell Windows desktops. These desktops are much faster, <br /> compatible with current softwares and will be far more reliable than the old equipment that is far beyond its <br /> reasonable service life. <br /> While some of these desktops could conceivably be replaced by$150 Chromeboxes,the continued staff reliance <br /> on Microsoft Office compels Information Technologies to use instead the $734 Dell desktop unit. <br /> 74 <br />
