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.

4. 4 Changes to the Selection Form  The Selection Form is now online! http://portal.nycboe.net/sites/FinanceAdmin/CFO/Lists/RESO%20A/NewForm.aspx 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.

5. 5 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.

6. 6 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.
