Software+Recommendations

1. There will be a 'base' image for all elementary lab computers. 2. This base image will include the following: 3. Schools will also be able to contribute additional funds from their own sources if they wish to add extra titles to the computers in the lab. 4. At the beginning of each cycle it will be determined whether existing software will operate on the new machines. If any of the programs on the base image will not operate on the new machines, then the district will provide an updated version. The district will not automatically update the programs that were chosen by individual buildings. 5. Teachers are free to purchase software for the computers in their rooms. This will not be networked software.
