Ardrey Kell Chromebooks and Technology Carts

Big Picture

CMS prides itself on providing a one-to-one experience for all high school students. One-to-one in educational technology means that for every student that is enrolled in a school, a mobile device is also allotted. A mobile device can be an iPad, Chromebook, laptop, or another type of tablet.

There are approximately 3,500+ students and 200+ faculty/staff at AK. We have over $1.8million worth of inventory and over 6,150 tagged pieces of technology. Based on the inventory system, we currently have 3,805+ Chromebooks on campus. This puts us at a 1.12-to-1 ratio which means that we have more devices than we need based on the system. Unfortunately, due to size of our inventory and the fact that we work with students, what is physically at the school may be less. CMS does not provide additional devices to schools if the inventory system shows sufficient amounts. We have hundreds of devices that are marked Lost, Damaged, or In Repair. Often staff will assume we have enough devices to loan or replace but unfortunately we do not.

It is important to maintain accurate data in the inventory system and to ensure that staff and students have 100% access to technology when needed. To do that, it requires everyone at AK to follow technology guidelines and procedures set by CMS and AK Technology Services.
