Rotating Promethean Boards

On January 8, 2008 (a little over a year ago), the Montgomery County Board of Education received a presentation on Technology.

Board of Education member Chris Barclay asked MCPS staff the question about how to transfer knowledge to those classes, since not all classes will have Promethean Boards.

According to page 7 of the Board of Education minutes:

"Staff explained that the Promethean Boards will be rotated so that all students will have exposure to this technology."

A question, therefore, for Nancy Navarro and Shirley Brandman:

1. When did the plan change from "rotating" the Promethean Boards to buying thousands of them?

Can we look forward to receiving the answer to this question when the County Council Education committee takes up the issue of the Promethean Boards lease/purchase on February 23, 2009?
