The improvements set the stage for continuing to make the building more attractive and useful. Technology was the third component in our improvement plan. Today's students face a future in which a good education coupled with high tech skills make students more attractive to prospective employers. Through careful planning and coordination, USD 465 students and staff have access to more software programs, internet in classrooms, libraries and other computer labs. Students are researching via internet, designing web pages, using digital cameras, multimedia and word processing programs.
Every teacher has a computer for recording grades, research, classroom presentation and e-mail.
It is yet another tool that maximizes a teachers ability to support student learning. This 4.2 million dollar project is nearing the end, but maintaining quality schools is an ongoing process. The district has already begun the next phase of school improvement. Once again, the district will be asking for community and staff input as we look at what direction the community would like to see our schools take in the next five years. On June 5, June 28 and July 1 the district will invite community members to share their vision for USD 465 students.
