Charging Carts: This week we received a total of 203 charging carts for Phase 2 of the Chromebook deployment. Tuesday we received the first shipment of 132 Aver Charging Carts for the Chromebooks and tablets, which arrived in 3 fully loaded trucks. Our amazingly efficient Warehouse staff wasted no time unloading, unboxing, tagging, engraving, and inventorying the carts.  The other 71 carts were received today Friday, February 28th.

Chromebooks: The Chromebooks have been on backorder, but we are excited to announce that the first 1,200 just arrived today (February 27th), with the remaining 5,014 to follow in multiple shipments. The Chromebooks will be loaded with Google Management Software on the CVUSD network, tagged, engraved, and labeled numerically to match the carts. Once the carts have been wired, the Chromebooks are loaded, and security measures are in place, we will begin shipping them out to the schools.

Distribution: The deliveries will be scheduled in order of priority to best accommodate testing schedules, taking into consideration testing dates as well as the ratio of Chromebooks to students at each school. Schools in the first testing window with less Chromebooks per student in this phase will need more time to test, so they will receive their deliveries first. Tentatively, schools will receive their distribution in the following order:
