9/19/13 - Fowlerville Community Schools will be getting some new computers and related equipment thanks to a donation by a local district. The Brighton Board of Education voted unanimously last week to donate 120 Apple I-Mac desktop computers and 50 PC towers that are no longer being used to the Fowlerville district. Brighton Superintendent Greg Gray tells WHMI it's a nice feeling to be on the giving end for a change with the donation of classroom equipment, especially when it helps an area school district. The computers and towers are no longer needed in the Brighton Schools due to the installation of brand-new computers and related software that were included in the technology aspect of the $88 million bond issue passed by voters last year. The district has typically been on the receiving end of such types of donations over the last few years due to items wearing out and no new money coming in to replace them. However that has all changed with the successful bond issue, which Gray calls the start of a new era for the Brighton Area Schools. (JM)
