As the fastest growing school system in Arizona, Dysart Unified School District outside of Phoenix is dedicated to preparing their students to thrive in the new century, which means each of their 21,500 students needs to master technology-based skills. To support more than 450 projection systems installed in K-8 classrooms throughout the district,  Ezra Williams, the district’s network specialist, decided to purchase the Califone PI30 Array Speakers for audio support.

Said Williams, “The array speakers allow teachers to amplify music, videos & interactive programs played directly from connected laptops, all without adding new ambient noise to the classroom – giving the students greater opportunities to listen and learn.”
