Agenda Item
a. Spot Vision Screeners (Not to Exceed $356,675)
Summary: Presented by: Dr. Kishia K. Towns, Chief of Wrap Around Services, Division of Wrap Around Services
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education approve the purchase of 55 Spot Vision Screeners from School Health for elementary schools for an amount not to exceed $356,675.
Why: Early identification of vision problems is essential to student health, academic performance, and long-term educational success. Implementing Spot Vision Screeners in every school provides an equitable, efficient, and highly accurate method for detecting potential vision issues before they interfere with learning. Traditional acuity charts alone cannot detect many of the most common childhood vision disorders (see attached). Spot vision screeners close this gap by offering a fast, reliable, evidence-based screening tool suitable for all ages and diverse student populations.
Details: The Benefits of Spot Vision Screeners are as follows:
1.) Fast & Efficient: Screens each student in 2-5 seconds; reduces instructional disruption and staff workload; and enables district-wide compliance with state screening requirements for evaluation.
2.) Accurate & Objective: Provides automated, standardized results; reduces false positives and unnecessary referrals; and produces immediate parent-ready reports.
3.) Equitable for All Students: Effective for students who are non-verbal, developmentally, delayed, behaviorally challenged, and unable to respond to acuity charts), while ensuring consistent screening quality across all schools.
4.) Eliminate damage/replacement costs due to transporting between schools.
Financial impact: The purchase of the Spot Vision Screeners is a budgeted expense from Charge Code: 100.2300.573000.00011.7020.9999.8010.090.0000. The total financial impact shall not exceed $356,675.
