South Whidbey School Board likely to purchase new projectors

The South Whidbey School Board will likely approve district-wide projector upgrades totaling about $32,000 at its regular monthly meeting on Oct. 25.

The South Whidbey School District selected Advanced Classroom Technologies (ACT) to install 42 new interactive whiteboard systems. If approved, the company will also remove existing equipment to make room for the new whiteboards and install High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cables at 75 locations around the district.

Ian Turner, director of operational technology, recommended that Advanced Classroom Technologies perform both the equipment removal and whiteboard installation to avoid scheduling conflicts between district departments and the installation team.
