In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the implementation of classroom telephones across the district, starting with high schools. The initiative aims to enhance communication within educational facilities, with a target to have the phones operational by the end of the upcoming fall break.
Mister St. Clair, who presented the proposal, emphasized the aggressive timeline for the project, highlighting the district's ongoing migration to a new phone system. The plan includes not only the installation of phones in classrooms but also the replacement of existing phones in front offices to ensure seamless communication between classrooms and administrative areas.
The district has opted to work with a previously trusted vendor known for their responsiveness and competitive pricing. The total cost for the project is estimated at $95,671.39, which will be funded through safety grant resources. The initiative reflects a commitment to improving safety and communication within schools, leveraging voice over IP technology that has been successfully utilized in past projects.
