2005 Digital School Boards Survey Top 10

The Center for Digital Education and National School Boards Association are pleased to announce the top 10 ranking school boards of their 2005 Digital School Boards Survey. The study examined how school boards and their districts are applying information technology to improve the delivery of services and quality of education to public schools, and to better engage their local communities and constituents.

The survey grouped school boards into three categories based on student population: More than 15,000 students; 2,501 to 15,000 students; and 2,500 or fewer students. Survey questions and criteria centered on school boards' online presence, technology applications that allow the public to interact with school board members, access to information such as school board calendars, policies and agendas, and technology advancements in the school board chambers.

Congratulations to the following school boards:
