Although the lease will remain with Insight Financial, it's recommended to go with a different company, Vivacity Tech. This company offers ADP (Accidental Damage Protection), cases and screen protectors for student devices. The ADP will cost a few dollars more per device over the previous devices, but the breakage rates seen over the past two years will be worth trying out. In addition to the ADP, Vivacity's white glove services are free; this includes asset tagging, adding to the network specifications, and delivery to each school for distribution. Each device comes with a free case and screen protectors, which will also be installed during the white glove process. Kindergarten touchscreen devices will remain a Dell 3100, whereas the 3rd/6th/9th grade non-touch devices will be the HP G9 Intel. The district will lease the Kindergarten, 3rd, and 6th grade devices for 3 years with the 9th grade coming in at 4 years. The total amount that will be paid over the course of 3 and 4 years is $1,300,234.00. The Google Chrome for Education license remains at $32.50 per device and is included in the quote. After approval, this will be submitted to KDE for approval as well.
