Our Recommendation:The 3 Year Plan– Evenly DistributedRoll out grades 1 and 5 at the beginning

of the year and 9 and 10 at the beginning of semester 2

This give the technology department the time to refine the process and work the bugs out

This plan gives HS staff more time to get familiar with Windows 8.1
