  5. HVS Plan for Smart School Bond Funds The Henry Viscardi School intends to purchase 40 Lenovo ThinkPad L580s for student use in the classrooms. Our IT staff has completed extensive research into computer models suitable for our students’ unique needs by placing a special emphasis on durability, as many of our students with poor motor skill control place heavier use on equipment than those with typical levels of motor control. With the Smart Schools Bond Act funds, we will be able to further advance our efforts in providing quality and cutting-edge technology so that we can continue to deliver a stimulating and comprehensive academic program that enables students to, the best of their ability, be college and career ready. As a result of purchasing these vitally needed laptops, we expect to see an increase in overall student performance, more enriched classroom time, and better preparation for success beyond the classroom.

  6. Steps Involved HVS Board of Trustees approves the plan. (Approved at February 5, 2019 meeting.)
