Board approves $1.33 million purchase of interactive classroom panels
Summary
The Forest Hills Board approved a contract with Digital Age Technologies to buy and install BenQ interactive flat panels for elementary classrooms, a $1,334,640 purchase following a trial at Pine Ridge Elementary; trainings and a phased installation were noted.
The Forest Hills Board of Education voted to approve a contract with Digital Age Technologies to purchase and install interactive flat panels for the district's elementary classrooms for an amount not to exceed $1,334,640. Chair (speaker 1) introduced the item as a classroom technology rollout following a trial at Pine Ridge Elementary.
Superintendent (speaker 2) said the panels are BenQ boards and that the district will provide trainings in each building to ensure teachers can use the new equipment. "These are the BenQ boards," the superintendent said, adding the district may not install every panel before the start of the school year and will temporarily leave existing overhead projectors in place to avoid instructional disruption. The board approved the expenditure by roll-call vote.
