The new system will get phones into every classroom. Having quick access to a phone is a huge safety concern for teachers and children. This system will also get the district a cheaper monthly rate. I say it's a necessity. Go to one of the schools or the district office and ask one of the administrators if you can job shadow for a week before you make statements about how they're not important to a kid's education.
All school districts incur costs beyond the classroom to allow for their efficient operation.
Early Dec. 3, Crystal and Amanda Dickinson lost their lives in a house fire. I was one of the first firefighters who tried to enter their burning home in an attempt to save them. Much to my dismay, I could not get past the raging flames and intense heat and save their precious lives. The images of these young girls huddled on the floor of their bathroom, hoping for someone to save them, will forever haunt me. Crystal and Amanda did not have to die that morning.
