Request for New Digital Resource

St. Lucie Public Schools

The Technology Request Process is used to select and implement new or upgraded hardware,
software or web based subscriptions. This process is not meant to restrict innovation, but
rather to ensure that technology resources are used as creatively, efficiently, and effectively as
possible. The ultimate goal is to ensure an articulated learning experience for our students as
they progress from kindergarten through grade twelve.

You must use this process whenever a new or upgraded hardware or software item is
considered for implementation. You do not need to use the process for implementation of
previously approved technologies. Note however, this process must be used for any
technology implementation that is “new to an area of study”.

The K‐12 Information Technology Committee has the responsibility for investigating hardware/
software for the K‐12 technology curriculum. To help with this task, the committee created this
process and document.

This process:

• supports teachers as they choose software and hardware for instruction.
• encourages careful decision‐making at the building and district level regarding new
  hardware and software.
• establishes and maintains consistency regarding the upgrading of hardware and
  software in our schools.
• ensures technical and instructional support for hardware and software.

Form should be completed by the staff member requesting the new resource.
