Director of Technology Amy Harmsen asks members of the Marshalltown School Board to approve the purchase of new technology to be installed in the board room allowing the capability for remote participants at board meetings.
New technology will be installed to upgrade Marshalltown Community School District’s board room allowing for remote participation at meetings and more.
The Marshalltown Community School Board voted unanimously Monday night to approve a $38,517.54 purchase of new audio and visual equipment to be installed in the board room as soon as possible.
Director of Technology Amy Harmsen said technological capabilities in the school board room make communicating with remote participants difficult, while other board members noted complications of including remote participants.
