Curriculum and Technology Committee Meeting - September 2026

The Ram Country TV Curriculum and Technology Committee met on September 14, 2026, to discuss several technology and curriculum initiatives. Key procurement-related updates included the completion of a 2024-25 school year project involving network infrastructure upgrades with a reimbursement request of approximately $130,430, and a 2025-26 project focused on uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units for network closets, with expected reimbursements near $57,000. The committee also discussed potential future funding cycles and infrastructure upgrades related to internet connectivity. Additionally, the committee reviewed a proposal for educational travel programs through EF Tours, which would require budgeting for a mentor/extracurricular position in the 2027-28 fiscal year to support student travel to Spanish and French-speaking countries. The committee agreed to further explore this initiative with a plan to present it at the November extracurricular committee meeting. Other procurement matters included approval of a renewal contract for the Test of English Language Learning (TELS) assessment, not to exceed $5,000, funded by Title III. No motions or votes were taken during this meeting, but several action items were identified for future budget planning and board approval.
