FORUM AGENDA ITEMS INTENT [] Board Meeting [ ] Correspondence [ ] Information [ ] Committee of the Whole [] New Business [] Decision [ ] Reports From Administrative Staff [ ] Discussion [ ] Other:

BACKGROUND The current contract with Dell Canada for supply of computer devices has expired. During the 2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years, replacement of computer devices are planned valued at over $2 million. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued September 27th for the supply of a variety of computer devices (notebooks, student notebooks, desktops and tablets) for a two year term. The RFP document specified we would consider only products manufactured by Dell, HP or Lenovo (IBM) as these manufacturers offer a proven enterprise solution. The RFP closed October 22nd with proposals being received from five firms. A short list of three vendors was developed. Proposals were evaluated using the weighted criteria identified in the RFP document. The analysis showed that the equipment, warranty, experience of bidders and value added was fairly similar for all three bidders but that pricing provided by Powerland Computers for the HP products was substantially lower than the other two proposals. The evaluating committee scored the proposal from Powerland Computers the highest. During the analysis it was also determined that none of the three proposals offered an acceptable solution for our tablet requirements . All three indicated that new models would be released soon that offer some superior functionality compared to what can be offered today. As a result, a decision was made to delete the requirement for tablets from this RFP and to tender at a later date when new models have been released. CURRENT STATUS Please see attachment for further information. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The purchases will be made from budgeted funds. Pricing from the recommended supplier, Powerland Computers, are approximately 16% lower than the next lowest priced proposal.

BACKGROUND Entering its seventh year, the overall goal of Collegiate Renewal is to have collegiate students “engaged in their learning so they will graduate as active participants in life-long learning and as responsible and caring citizens in the community, nation, and world”. Student engagement is framed and assessed through the following four dimensions:

• competency, • relevancy, • belonging, • potency.

CURRENT STATUS One of the four main dimensions of student engagement is potency which is defined as, “having influence over one’s learning and having a strong sense of self efficacy or belief in one’s own abilities”. The goal of Math 9 Plus is to build potency in students that had previously struggled with math skills and concepts. During the April 23, 2013 Collegiate Renewal Board update, Marion M. Graham Collegiate teachers, Janelle Tang and Nicole Reed explained diagnostic assessments and instructional strategies that were used with students in their Math 9 Plus classrooms. At that meeting, Administration indicated that the team would come back to share early results of the Math 9 Plus program once data was gathered at the end of the school year. Wendy James, Coordinator of Collegiate Renewal and Terry Johanson, Mathematics Consultant with the Math 9 Plus program will explain the data.
