Technology Adoption Process There are currently 700 desktop computers in the St. Anthony-New Brighton School District. These desktop computers are all Dell computers and cost the district $1,100 per computer. Computers are located in every classroom in the district and in the high school media center.

Of this five hundred thousand dollars per year, one hundred thousand dollars per year would be used solely for the costs of replacing current devices in the district. About two hundred thousand dollars a year would be spent on the purchase of new devices, and the remaining money would be used to support new infrastructure and servers to meet the demands of
