eCLASS is a multi-year project, and different modules will be phased in over time.
“By conducting the pilot at all levels, we are positioning the district for a successful rollout that we can sustain across grade levels, and over time … GCPS hopes to make learning more real and relevant to a student population that has never known a world without technology,” said the district in a statement.
Funding for Pinpoint, eCLASS, and other technology improvements will come from an extension of the special-purpose local option sales tax. After deployment, the costs for maintaining this initiative will be included in the district’s budget.
HMH will help the district implement Pinpoint and will work closely with the district’s IT team so that “Pinpoint is tightly integrated into their existing environment and that they can support and extend the environment if and when they choose,” the company said.
“While it is very easy to focus on the technology, our focus is really on the teaching and learning,” said the district in a press release. “We are very excited about the launch of our eCLASS initiative and how we can use technology and data to better support our classroom teachers and improve student achievement.”
