Bill met will meet with Laurel Jones to go over specifics and needs for the night. Teachers attending will be set up at various stations throughout the event to ask questions and show off what we are doing in the district. Students need to be recruited to help with the success of the event.

Rm. 116 update. The board location can not be helped because of ventilation placement in the drop ceiling. The room still does not have a functioning board. Active Expression devices are almost ready to be distributed and will be available from the LMC for sign out very soon. Tom will be contacting Hillary Dee from Model schools about setting up some classes in the Middle school for the Spring.
 * **PROMETHEAN BOARDS/ Active Expressions training **


 * TechYes update
 * Still looking at the possibility of extending the program to the high school next year. The current budget situation will help dictate where this ends up.

 * **Wifi access in LMC for people not on the school network **

Next year switching from Novell to cloud approach. Windows? Google apps. More updates to come.
