ECISD schools start receiving new technology from 2023 bond
ODESSA, Texas (KOSA) - Once the 2023 bond was passed by Ector County voters, ECISD quickly started ordering new additions to the classroom.
The first project should be finished by the end of this school year.
The first item being checked off the list is new Promethean boards, which are better for the modern classroom than the projectors teachers used to have.
They are interactive boards that connect to the teacher’s computer and are touch-sensitive, allowing the teacher to navigate from the board instead of behind the desk.
The feedback the district has received from the teachers with the new board has been positive as well. It keeps the students more engaged with the lesson.
ECISD has installed these boards quickly… two-thirds of classrooms already have them installed.
A lot of work will happen over the summer… the district will make improvements large group instruction areas like the band room and library.
$3.5 million of the bond is going toward the traditional classroom improvements like the Promethean boards and $1.5 million is going toward the improvements to the larger group spaces.
The five technology projects that are planned in the 2023 bond are the Promethean boards and large group instruction areas, plus new security cameras, PA systems and phone systems.
