Over 50 Individual Sites Created...and Counting!
Posted Friday, December 03, 1999
The number of individual web sites that have currently been set up as part of the overall District Web Site has surpassed 50 . . . with about 20 of those sites actually having content of one kind or another added to them (in the form of news, links, and/or calendar items). There are a number of other requested sites left to set up for individuals, departments, and projects.

The speed with which staff members have latched on to this idea is spectacular . . . and inspiring to other school districts who have been watching what we are doing.
