Schools Need Technology Upgrade

Director of Schools Del Phillips plans to ask the County Commission for $2.1 million in Capital Outlay funds in order to upgrade the system's woefully inadequate technology infrastructure.

A comprehensive review of available technology in schools revealed that Sumner County students are ill-served by the current technology available to them. 

The Board and County Commission have not made funding technology a priority in the past and as a result, the system's technology has suffered.  Now, parent organizations fundraise to provide schools with technology.  That has resulted in vastly different levels of technology available to studetns across the county. 

Phillips has laid out a plan to change that and the $2.1 million in 2012-13 will be used to address it, if approved by the County Commission.
