"We have outdated textbooks and materials in our schools. Textbooks and materials do not correlate with the standards.
So we have outdated curriculum materials but at least we have Smartboards:
- 9/14/2010 LMES PTO donated $10,200 to LMES to purhase three new smart boards.
- 8/19/2009 LMES Site Council Approval of Tax Credit Monies used for a SmartBoard in Ms. Roger’s Room
- 5/13/2008 LMES PTO donated ...a SmartBoard valued at $2,994.00
- 4/13/2008 LMES PTO donated a SmartBoard valued at $3910.13
- 3/13/2007 Lone Mountain Elementary School PTO donated four Smart-boards from CCS Presentation Systems valued at $15,299.77.
- 6/12/2007 Lone Mountain Elementary School PTO donated one SmartBoard for art teacher Dara Sharapan, valued at $3,422.91.
- 11/3/2006 LMES PTO purchased 2 SmartBoards and 4 Airliner Projectors and other items to enhance student learning at Lone Mountain.
And who is donating the electricity to run the Smartboards, the money to buy the $300 replacement light bulbs, and the training costs to get teachers up to speed on these devices? Of course the taxpayers are and at the same time they are pleading poverty and crying over 10 year old textbooks.
