Transformational technology proposal, public meeting schedule


The Northfield Public Schools Board of Education were presented with the “transformational technology” proposal at their January 28 meeting. The proposal includes a 1:1 tablet computer initiative for students in Grades 6-12 and a “pod” based approach at elementary schools using a ratio of one device per 3.5 students. You can read the proposal narrative by clicking here.

Two public meetings have been scheduled to review the proposal with the community: Saturday, February 2nd from 10 am – 12 pm and Monday, February 4th from 7 pm – 9 pm. Both meetings will be held in the Northfield High School Auditorium.
