Everett Public Schools received grant funding back in 2016 to upgrade outdated technology, but it wasn’t until post - pandemic that they were able to implement it. With budgetary considerations and the necessity to continue investing in technology as imminent as it has ever been, Everett Public Schools made the decision to partner with Advanced Classroom Technologies to take on this mission. Together with supplier Boxlight, they ensured a smooth procurement, delivery, and setup of district-wide touch panels in every classroom.

As the school year winds down, we at Advanced Classroom Technologies say congratulations on a successful school year and we wish you a restful and energizing summer break.

Enjoy your well-earned break!
