The Indian Valley Local School District is engaged in an exciting building project which will result in two elementaries to replace the Midvale and Port Washington buildings, a major renovation of the middle school at Tuscarawas, and an additional 29,000 square feet at the high school. With the Ohio School Facilities Commission (OSFC) building project comes a state-of-the-art technology infrastructure. Each classroom will be supplied with a ceiling-mounted LCD projector that will be the output for the building’s cable television network, video retrieval system and the display for the instructor computer. The interactive whiteboard is a technology that will work in conjunction with the teacher’s computer and the mounted LCD projector. The LCD unit projects the computer screen onto the whiteboard, and the teacher or student controls the computer via an interactive pen. OSFC has agreed to fund 79% of the infrastructure necessary to wire each room for the interactive whiteboards if we meet our goal of obtaining through outside funding (not tax dollars) one interactive white board for every classroom. Indian Valley needs 118 interactive whiteboards to meet that goal. Addition of this hardware will put our district at the forefront of technology in the area and help give K-12 youngsters the skills they need to compete in a competitive job market. We are asking that you sponsor a donation in any amount. Send your contribution to the attention of Janis Hunter, Curriculum Director, Indian Valley Local Schools, 100 North Walnut Street, P.O. Box 171, Gnadenhutten, Ohio 44629.
