d. Approval of Instructional Support Equipment and STEM Resources for New Dresden Elementary School (CDW-G) (Not to exceed $232,451.89)
Summary: Presented by: Dr. Kermit Belcher, Chief Information Officer, Division of Information and Instructional Technology
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education approve the purchase of instructional support equipment, student devices, charging solutions, and STEM instructional resources from CDW-G for New Dresden Elementary School, at a cost not to exceed $232,451.89.
Why: The opening of New Dresden Elementary School requires the deployment of instructional technology, network infrastructure, and campus safety systems necessary for effective teaching, learning, and daily operations. The proposed investment equips classrooms, shared learning spaces, and administrative areas with district-standard instructional devices, wireless connectivity, structured cabling, telecommunications, and physical security systems. Collectively, these systems ensure the new facility is operationally ready, supports digital learning and instructional delivery, and provides a secure and reliable environment for students and staff, while aligning with district technology standards and long-term capital planning.
Details: The instructional support equipment and resources for New Dresden Elementary School were identified through collaborative planning with instructional leaders and technology staff to ensure alignment with district standards and instructional needs. The CDW-G scope equips instructional and administrative spaces with devices, accessories, and STEM resources required for daily instruction, hands-on learning, and effective device management.
Instructional Areas (Classroom, Media Center, and STEM) =$196,033.08
Instructional areas are equipped with student devices, charging solutions, and instructional resources that support classroom instruction, media services, and STEM learning environments. This includes student Chromebooks with required accessories, pre-wired charging towers for secure storage and charging, and power adapters to support daily classroom use.
The Media Center and STEM instructional spaces are further supported through the purchase of STEM equipment and learning kits, including robotics, coding and microcontroller kits, 3D printers, fabrication tools, and animation and design resources. These tools support hands-on, project-based learning and provide students with opportunities to engage in problem-solving, creativity, and applied technology instruction across grade levels.
Administration and Staff Equipment =$6,099
Administrative and staff work areas are supported through the purchase of docking stations and related accessories that enable staff to connect district-issued devices to classroom and office workstations. Surge protection devices are included to protect instructional and staff technology from electrical damage and to support the safe operation of devices throughout the school.
Together, these resources ensure staff have the tools necessary to support instruction, manage devices, and maintain continuity of operations across instructional and administrative spaces.
