In the second year of The Road Ahead, the team focused on expanding technology in the building beyond the original aerospace classroom. The Road Ahead teachers were the first at their school to have Internet access and to use it for instructional purposes. The team conducted staff training in technology, including a full-day session for department heads and selected students. School labs were also opened to parents, expanding into a weekly computer-facilitated English as a Second Language program. The team and students have given presentations at district and state conferences.
