TIMEFRAME

REFRESH: MID-2023 TO 2024

COMPLETION: SUMMER 2024

Costs

The total cost of the technology refresh project is $245,000. The cost of the OSA network refresh component is estimated to be $100,000, with purchases beginning in Spring 2023, with full installation to be completed in 2024. The cost of the network refresh reflects a significant discount based on OSA’s application for support through the Federal Communications Commission’s E-rate program for schools and libraries. The total cost of updated hardware and software for 2023-24, which includes student laptops, faculty/staff laptops, and a range of software and licenses, is estimated at $145,000. Partner support would contribute to covering the costs associated with the full technology refresh.
