There is a revolution in our classrooms. Teachers and students are passionate about using today's technology to enhance instruction. Our schools are ready to embrace new tools that promote depth, efficiency and the cross-disciplinary learning essential to the Common Core.

One obstacle stands in the way. LBUSD's current wireless system cannot handle additional technology and is slow, causing lost instructional minutes. To maximize instruction time and the use of technology at every grade level, our four schools need an upgraded wireless infrastructure NOW. The upgrade will allow for exciting technological advances at all schools, including digital textbooks in certain classes at LBHS as early as next year!

Investment in the wireless upgrade is so important, SchoolPower, in partnership with LBUSD, has set its highest Fund-a-Need goal ever. With your generosity, we hope to raise $150,000 tonight!

This is about more than speed and access. This is about the future.
