A Question about Technology
EGRPS has amazing technology in our schools. An article in the GR Press on September 8, 2010 reviewed all of the high tech changes in schools that are happening despite severe cuts over the last year. Our district passed a technology bond which has allowed us to expand our technology. We are at the end of this funding source and the administration and the school board are looking into ways to provide upkeep to what we have and to expand it. Our sinking fund does not allow the purchase of technology. Do you think it is time to change this? Do you have any other suggestions for funding technology?
