High speed wireless will be expected.
An increasing level of BYOD (Bring Your Own
Device) will take place in schools as more
students will own and bring their own
computing devices.
Interactive white boards will become
increasingly less expensive and more multifaceted to serve as the primary classroom
technology hub device.
eBooks: textbooks and library books will
be delivered in a digital format and will be
accessed on a variety of “reader” devices.



Students will increasingly need to have anytime/anywhere access to computing devices and Internet
connectivity.
More students will take online courses - in a “blended learning” format.
Assessments will continue to move to an online format.
Teachers will increasingly depend on computer-generated data sources in order to accurately and
effectively instruct and support their students.
Social networking will continue to reach into students’ learning and they will interact with a larger
group of “classmates” via classroom embedded social networking opportunities and resources.
More teachers will “flip” their classrooms: the teachers will pre-record their instruction for students
to view prior to/during class. Students will spend the majority of their class time in problem/project
based individual and small group activities based on the prescribed curriculum.



Integrated access control is the leading security based technology component in education to provide
a safe and secure environment.
Systems are utilized nationwide in both public and private sectors but specifically in the seven
surrounding metro area school districts
Security practitioners have identified that a successful security program integrates the physical
security officer with integrated systems technology.

Principal Effectiveness
System
The Wallace Foundation has pledged partial support for work to build a better principal pipeline to boost student
achievement, this project will provide for the development, implementation, and refinement of a system to support the
successful recruitment, qualification, hiring, coaching, and professional learning systems for our school leadership corps.
Talent Acquisition
This project would enhance DPS’s ability to find and attract the best candidates by implementing a new recruiting system
to replace 2 existing, antiquated systems. System improvements would include a more streamlined user experience for
both applicants and hiring managers, greater visibility into available candidates, improved reporting on the number and
quality of candidates, and reduced annual maintenance costs associated with the current systems.

This system would automate and improve the speed of bringing a new employee into the district. Currently, when recruits
are recommended for employment, they undergo an extremely labor intensive process for collection of information to
validate qualifications, completion of required paperwork such as I-9s, and participation in required training. An
onboarding solution would enable DPS to move recruits through the process more efficiently, provide consistency in the
process, and ensure full compliance with all state and federal mandates.
Provide for enhancements and minor development of the existing Schoolnet technology solution that is the interface for
principals and teachers for LEAP (Leading Effective Academic Practice). The technology solution allows for the capture of
teacher observations, search and sign up for aligned professional development, and display of professional growth plans
and student growth data. Ongoing enhancements will be necessary to improve usability, and new features may need to
be added as the teacher effectiveness work evolves.
System which will support transparency to the RFP and contract process; allows third party access for moving contracts
through workflow to completion.
DPS currently utilizes an application to manage guest teacher assignments for substitutes in classrooms. Because the
goal is to have the most qualified teachers paired with students, automation of this process to optimize outcomes is
critical. This project will include an assessment of our current guest teacher staffing application, research on alternatives
available to the district, and based on this information move forward with either (a) upgrades to our existing outdated
system including the purchase of new hardware to ensure stability of this critical function or (b) the selection and
implementation of a new system to improve the process of matching classrooms and guest teachers.
Contractually the district is required to undertake regular upgrades of our Human Resources systems, the largest of which
is Lawson. Upgrades are needed in order to stay on current release versions as dictated by our vendor, take advantage
of new functionality, and ensure overall system health to support critical functions such as payroll, benefits administration,
and tracking of all employee data. Two upgrades are forecasted to take place during this bond cycle and support is being
requested in order to ensure the sustainability and performance of our main system. This project would also include the
replacement of hardware which is warrantied for 3 year periods.
This is a two part initiative. The first is a short term measure to improve the existing system used to calculate payments
for teachers as part of the ProComp agreement. The system is difficult to maintain and may not be able to be modified to
support changes made in any future negotiations. The second part of this project would be to implement a full
compensation system that could be configured to meet the needs of teachers in ProComp as well as all other
employees. This would improve the accuracy of our payroll, as well as improving our ability to analyze compensation data
to promote equity in pay rates and salary ranges.

short-, and long-term. Manage efficient building utilization for both educational and administrative functions. DPS
does not currently own this module.
T41
IBAS to Link the Various Modules
Integrated Building Automation Systems (IBAS) – The comprehensive and co-coordinated control of one or more
major system functions required in a facility, such as heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems,
and Fire and Life Safety. The system manages more efficient use of natural gas, electricity, and water use that
can have an impact on environmental conservation, life cycle costing - operation and maintenance, increased
human comfort through better monitoring of spaces, and increased accuracy of preventive maintenance.
Provides centralized monitoring and dispatch. DPS Long-Term Goals and Strategy: District-wide Implementation.
Currently this program exists in some facilities.
T69
Interactive Parent Tools
Development of additional online tools for parents including functionality to support forms, registration,
transportation eligibility, and/or school choice decision support
T94
Off-boarding
Benefits of this process would manage departures from DPS consistently and enhance accountability of people
responsible for the process.
Human Resources Knowledge Base
The goal of this project is to provide better customer service to district employees and applicants through the
development of a comprehensive HR knowledge management tool. This project would allow HR to centrally
store information and enable self-service access to this information on demand. It would enhance the quality and
quantity of information online and how it is stored and presented. Benefits include improved employee
communication, retention, and compliance to regulations as well as a reduction in calls to request information to
the HR call center.
GHR for Charters
This is a two part initiative. The first is a short term measure to improve the existing system used to calculate
payments for teachers as part of the ProComp agreement. The system is difficult to maintain and may not be
able to be modified to support changes made in any future negotiations. The second part of this project would be
to implement a full compensation system that could be configured to meet the needs of teachers in ProComp as
well as all other employees. This would improve the accuracy of our payroll, as well as improving our ability to
analyze compensation data to promote equity in pay rates and salary ranges.
