District saves money on tech upgrades

Camas schools work to provide greater access

By ordering computers earlier in the year, using open-source software and purchasing larger servers, the Camas School District saved approximately $230,000 in technology costs.

"Thinking outside the box this year has saved hundreds of thousands and has increased our student-to-computer ratios district wide, allowing students more access to technology at school and from home," said Sherman Davis, server administrator for the district.

Davis gave a technology update at a recent School Board meeting.
