	The District has made a foray into the digital age by upgrading their schools with audio visual technology, including:
	* Hitachi CP-X 2010 Projectors
	* Elmo TT-02 Document Cameras
	* Technology Workstand AV Carts
	In doing so, the district hopes to keep students more involved by incorporating interesting and new teaching styles, and save money that would have been otherwise spent on supplying teachers with clear sheets for overhead projectors.

	This statement about the av cart and av technology integration was made by Christine Olmstead, the technology director for the school district:

	"Security Works company has been outstanding in helping us design a Mobile Technology Workstand to accommodate our 21st Century Classrooms at an affordable price. Our Electronic Document Cameras, Laptops, and Projectors all fit securely on one mobile stand that can move around a classroom or between classrooms to share."
