Executive Summary
The Supervisor of Instructional Technology, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board to approve the renewal of a Nearpod District License for grades K-12. This license will enhance instruction across all subjects. Students will continue using Nearpod for 3D field trips, interactive activities, and receiving immediate teacher feedback. Teachers will have access to a library of pre-created lessons aligned with Florida standards and benchmarks or can create their own using interactive tools. Nearpod is the supplier and publisher of this proprietary and copyrighted material.The license will be valid for one year.
The cost for the District License is $76,332.00. It is being paid out of Technology Millage and is subject to collection of that source of revenue and if Millage should change or be discontinued, we would seek alternative funding.

Financial Impact
See attached budget sheet.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
