Item Title:Approval to purchase iPad keyboards and adapters for Smarter Balanced Testing
Agenda Title:Approval to purchase iPad adapters and keyboards for Smarter Balanced Testing
Background:The use of physical keyboards is a requirement of Smarter Balanced.  School sites have iPads to use for testing but are in need keyboards.

Adapters are needed for the iPads because of Apple's recent move from a 30 pin connector to a Lightening connector.  District sites have a mix of new iPads with Lightening connectors and older iPads with 30 pin connectors.  The adapters will ensure that the keyboards can be used with any of our iPads.
Recommendation:
Resource Person:Mr. Todd Ryckman
Fiscal Impact:Adapters $23,328
Keyboard $35,640
Funding Source:Common Core implementation funds.
