Technology at Rich Schools

RANDOLPH, Utah.  January 16, 2013. At last month’s school board meeting, the discussion was held concerning one-on-one technology for students in Rich County.   

After looking further into this project, it was noted that digital text books are more expensive than originally thought.  Also, textbooks would probably have to be purchased each year.  Some companies will allow for contracts to be signed allowing use of the materials for several years with updates, which would help keep costs down.   

The Board requested the Superintendent and teachers at the High School level proceed with getting the needed technology in place.  This would give the District a year to get everything going and work out any problems or difficulties prior to having the whole District participate.  It would give everyone enough time to see how things work and see if that will be the direction the other schools in the district should be going.  

The Board asked that they be kept informed of how things are going in the technology area.
