Billings, Montana Catholic schools put $200K into labs, visual systems

The phrase "with every ending comes a new beginning" may be a bit overused, but with the Billings Catholic Schools http://www.billingscatholicschools.org/ system that’s what will happen beginning this week.

The system’s first technology cycle – designed to evaluate and update its technology needs – will conclude with the start of the 2009-2010 school year on Wednesday.

Started in 2004, its goal was to provide the Catholic school system with a plan for keeping up-to-date with technological advances in the classroom.

"The first leg of that cycle is done, and it was very successful," said Don Larson, the schools’ director of information services.
