A Committee of the Danbury City Council is recommending to the full Council that two lease-purchase agreements be approved for the school district. The Technology Improvement Program at the middle school would be bolstered with $500,000 over five years.  It pays for replacement of teacher laptops, provide laptop carts for students and projectors for classroom instruction. 

The Copier portion of the lease would be $360,000 financed over four years.  It would pay for a partial replacement of the current fleet of machines. 

The Danbury School District has been purchasing chromebooks for many students to allow more equipment to be placed in the hands of students, and provide a platform that's easier for staff to support.  The Board of Education has the first year of funding available and will budget money over the term of the leases in future budgets.
