17. Student to Device Comparison
# Students per Devices (K-12)
This chart shows a student to device ratio comparison of our comparative districts. This slide compares the student to device ratio of the districts. If a district had device for every student, then they would be shown on the cart as 1 with a ratio 1:1. FHSD is represented by the green bar which indicates the District has a student to device ratio of one device per 1.6 students or a ratio of 1:1.6. On this chart the lower number a district has means the more devices a district has available for students. Ie. Orchard Farm has the most devices available per student amongst these comparison districts. As this bar chart indicates, FHSD ranks in the middle of the pack. All student devices are included in these numbers regardless of age which some devices are new and some might be seven plus years old.

18. IT Spending Per Student
IT Spending Per K-12 Student
Here we see comparison data on what districts spends on technology per student. As you can see OFSD and St. Charles City Schools are on the higher end of the spectrum; meaning they spend the most on technology per student. FHSD is indicated by the green bar and is second lowest in terms of technology spending per student of the districts represented.

19. Technology Operating Budget History
Here we see an illustration the 6-year history of the FHSD Technology Operating budget. You can see a three year upward trend starting in FY13, as the need and integration of technology in our district, schools, and classrooms was becoming more prevalent. In FY16, there was a dramatic decrease in the Technology budget as technology spending was affected by the District budget cuts and reductions. The cuts put the District device refresh cycle on hold for two years. Without updating computers and devices for two years, schools and students have had to use an aging fleet computers and technology.
Then over last two years the Technology budget has had slight increases. Yet the Technology budget is just now getting back to the levels we were at five years ago. The device refresh cycle has been reinstituted this school year, yet we will be playing catch up from the past two years due to the cuts and reductions.
