Agenda Item Summary: The use of technology in the division, including the selection of tools, is guided by the 2018-2023 ACPS Technology Plan. With the unprecedented and sudden transition from supporting a traditional school day to a “learning from home” environment, ACPS needed to quickly adopt a video/teleconferencing tool to support school and division operations, as well as teacher to student communication and instruction.
Background: Zoom is a United States-based company operating out of San Jose, CA. Zoom provides telephonic and video conference solutions that can be utilized on many platforms using stand-alone software, using a browser, or on mobile devices using a mobile application. Zoom offers a variety of licenses, including education licenses.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends the School Board review the information provided in this Board Brief.
