ECISD schools in Odessa, Texas are starting to receive new technology as part of the 2023 bond. The first item being installed is the Promethean board, a touch-sensitive interactive board that connects to the teacher’s computer and keeps students engaged in the lesson. Two-thirds of classrooms already have these boards installed, with the remaining to be completed by summer 2024. Over the summer, the district will also make improvements to larger group spaces like the band room and library. A total of $3.5 million from the bond is allocated to classroom improvements and $1.5 million to larger group spaces. The bond also includes plans for new security cameras, PA systems, and phone systems.
