The Maggie Walker boardroom underwent some minor but expensive renovations on March 10 and March 12.
"We are finishing the boardroom, where we are putting in hi-tech equipment," said Ms. Bronner, PTSA President. "We've put a projector in."
The projector is not the only new thing being added to the boardroom, though. Controllers for the projector, a VCR/DVD player, and a phone were also added.
Ms. Patti Chappell, Assistant Director of Technology, said that these renovations cost “around $9,000.”
According to Ms. Chappell, these renovations were not done at the time the whole school was renovated because of budget concerns. It was not considered necessary to have a projector in the boardroom.
However, “we found out there are more and more times when it would have been beneficial to have one in there," said Ms. Chappell.
“When there were presentations that needed projectors, we would have cords all over the floor.”
The room is now able to receive phone calls and conduct conference calls. It is also internet/computer accessible.
“Now the boardroom is in the 21st century,” said Ms. Chappell
