The uses for technology in the boardroom are endless. You can call up budget figures, enrollment projections, the numbers of children taking advanced mathematics, and any statistics needed. Take a look here for tips and resources for implementing technology with the school board.

School Board News, November 12, 1996 Board’s Eye View:

For candidates who can’t afford to get their messages on television, or who want to segment their appeal to target audiences, the Internet may become fertile ground for swaying public perception about the schools.

Local school board members should be prepared for more advocacy on the fundamentals of how our nation educates its children - and to communicate through new and more public-oriented media."
