The Board of Education accepted a pair of high tech gifts for East Ridge Middle School and Ridgefield High School Monday.
East Ridge’s PTA donated $15,000 to purchase a video system and TV monitors that will enhance the school’s communication capabilities between students and staff.
“This equipment will allow for school announcements and the school monitor program to be seen in common areas such as the cafeteria,” the PTA wrote in a memo to the board. “Additionally, throughout the day scrolling announcements with multimedia will be visible.”
At the high school, the PTSA also made a donation of $15,000 to purchase interactive classroom technology that is similar to the school’s existing SMART Board technology.
“This new technology will allow for the same interactive ability using existing traditional whiteboards,” the PTSA wrote in a memo to the board.”
