Special to The Citizen
The Avon Maitland District
School Board will respond to a
letter it received from the Stratford
Central school council, outlining
concerns about outdated computer
equipment.
Board Chair Wendy Anderson
asked Business Superintendent
Janet Baird-Jackson to draft a letter
"to let them know their concerns
have been heard and that we're
getting there."
The letter from Nanci
McFadden-Fair asked for a
Pentium computer lab to replace
existing 286 and 486 computer labs
at Central Secondary School, which
she said was "in line" to receive
two new labs before the Huron and
Perth school boards amalgamated
but "other schools were deemed
more important" after amalga
mation took place. She asked the
board to review it decision.
Baird-Jackson said a review of
computer inventory and its
utilization is' currently being
completed and added, " I hope it
will rectify a number of issues."
