Summary of current technology needs on our campus:
The campus purchased 50 refurbished computers from the tech department to finish EOLing all the white Dells. Teachers find it
difficult to utilize the lab effectively without support on hand to troubleshoot. We have very few working televisions on campus and
even fewer DVD players. Money needs to be allocated to replace this technology ASAP.
