The Batavia City School District has won a designation from the company that supplied the schools with those high tech electronic blackboards.
The "blackboards" are actually white, and act much like a computer monitor and mouse.
The firm that sold the district the devices, Promethean Incorporated, has selected Batavia Schools for its Torchlight award…one of only 15 in the country.
A ceremony is being held at Robert Norris School at this hour.
We expect to find out later today just what the designation means for city schools.I got this off the wbta web site...I would give a school an award also if they bought my product..Is this a nother way to over hype something.....
