Technology

The Information Technology Department supports all district technology and services. We are responsible for the infrastructure, business applications, educational systems, systems integration, and technical support on all of our campuses.

We are proud to share that the Finalsite Board of Education recently approved a 1:1 technology program in which all Franklin Elementary students and teachers will be provided a district-owned device.

1:1 Tech Program Benefits:

• Device Standardization

• This reduces the level of support required for learning from home.

• Filtering – Monitoring – Classroom Management
• District owned devices can be filtered to comply with CIPA (Children’s Internet Protection Act).
• Monitoring for social and emotional wellbeing.
• Classroom Management such as a teacher being able to lock students to a specific website or application while teaching to reduce distractions.
• Seamless pivoting within the State of Michigan phases
• Removing technology as a barrier to teaching and learning. 
• Providing minimal disruption between phases
• Health and well-being while at school
• Removes the need to institute cleaning protocols of ChromeBooks multiple times per day, per cart, per device.
