Everyone is Talking about 1:1 Tell Me More . . .
In order to prepare for the future where off-site instruction for students may be needed, Knox County Schools is proposing a plan to provide a device for every student, grades K-12, beginning in the 2020- 2021 school year. While the district has some student Chromebooks that have been purchased by schools and departments over the years, only 6,000 of these units will be under support by the end of the 2020-21 school year. Schools will be able to continue to utilize those units for on-site work, but the district strongly believes it is imperative that a device is supplied for all students for home use. These would be replaced on a 5-year cycle.
There will be opportunities to make individual decisions about devices for our students with students based on need.
