__Population Served:__ //4. How many schools and students would the proposed project/initiative impact?//

Shawnee Mission has 28,201 students, and this initiative will impact all students in all settings and enhance nearly 50 schools' technology infrastructure. Although Shawnee Mission is the second largest school district in Kansas, the district is lagging behind most of the state with regard to access to technology. Due to a complex Kansas state funding formula for pupil spending, Shawnee Mission ranks in the bottom 10% of spending per pupil and declining enrollment has caused considerable strain on the district's budget. The district continually looks for creative ways to continue to provide students with quality education with meaningful impact. The district's schools are naturally clustered with elementary schools feeding into middle schools which in turn feed into high schools. Each of the clusters will share resources when needed.

High Schools (9101 students total) - Each of these schools will receive editing bays, digital cameras, digital camcorders, and appropriate ancillary supplies.

Shawnee Mission East (1878 students) Shawnee Mission West (1995 students) Shawnee Mission Northwest (1793 students) Shawnee Mission South (1627 students) Shawnee Mission North (1808 students)

Middle Schools (4170 students total) - Each of these schools will receive digital cameras and digital camcorders.

Indian Woods (673 students) Indian Hills (511 students) Antioch (477 students) Hocker Grove (559 students) Mission Valley (546 students) Westridge (908 students) Trailridge (496 students)

Elementary Schools (14,192 students total) - The twelve Title I Schools will each receive digital cameras. Each of the 23 remaining schools will share resources within their clusters

Apache (354 students) Bonjour (302 students) Comanche (482 students) Crestview (380 students) Merriam Park (435 students) Nieman (444 students) Overland Park (391 students) Roesland (306 students) Rosehill (550 students) Rushton (296 students) Santa Fe Trails (280 students) Shawanoe (321 students)

733 students at other centers (pre-school, Broadmoor Technology Center, Horizons Alternative School) would not be affected by this grant.
