Williams Technology Fundraising Presentation

Williams School Technology Fundraising Drive November PTO Meeting November 12, 2009 Williams School Auburndale, MA

Why are we here?
Our school & classrooms are poorly equipped
There are insufficient funds in the Newton School’s budget to close the gap
Our children should have modern classrooms now
We believe we can close the gap!

We are Behind the Curve
Technology in the district ranks only in the 22 nd and the school in the 43 rd percentile
Approximately 1 modern laptop for every 10 students at beginning of the year
6 LCD projectors and 1 ELMO for 13 classrooms at beginning of year
November 12, 2009 Note: MCAS reported laptop ratio is 4.5 students/laptop; these include end of life units that can not run all requisite software

Our Goal is to Close the Gap
Student/computer ratio of 2:1
An LCD and ELMO projector for each classroom
Smart Boards

Resulting in:
