B-R School Board to go paperless

Starting with the October school board meeting, the Bancroft-Rosalie School Board meetings will be paperless. The board members will have lap-top computers with all of the documents stored electronically. The school is purchasing the laptops, and board members can elect to buy them from the school if they want to use them for personal business.
Going paperless will improve communication, since documents can be e-mailed and be received earlier then they could through the old snail mail system. It will also be easier for board members to keep track of old documents. The office staff will have to adjust to saving documents as PDF's. Bear with us for a meeting or two as we make the change to digital.
