Scope - Currently the District subscribes to Microsoft’s subscription based model for providing licensing to all District devices. This service provides us with the Client Access Licensing (CALs) for the most current versions of Microsoft Windows, Office as well as server access. This model is based on a per FTE licensing structure, students are no cost, unit price is substantially lower than the per device model. Throughout the subscription, the District will have access and the ability to install the most current version of the Windows operating systems and Microsoft Office. By enrolling in the subscription model, we will keep current with all next generation releases of Microsoft Office, at no additional cost, as long as we maintain our subscription. This renewal will cover the District for the 2023-2024 school year and will be up for renewal again June 30, 2024. Additionally, the cost of this subscription is eligible for reimbursement at 100% as CAI Software.
