ImageThe Corporate Development Committee of Lansing Central Schools, Inc. funded the purchase of new technology to be used in the Lansing School District.  The donation was approved by the Board of Education in August, 2009 and contributes $14,900 worth of technology to the Lansing District.

The donations include:

  • 30 I-Clone software licenses which will allow 8th grade art students to animate short stories they have written in English class.
  • Nine Lego Mindstorm robotic kits which will allow High School AP Computer Science students to learn and experiment with programming robotic devices.
  • The addition of 25 ActiveExpression devices at the High School, which allow for students to provide input back to the teacher through the Promethean Board Systems.
  • Two additional Interactive Promethean Boards for use in the Middle School Math program, and the Middle School French program. 

The Corporate Development Committee (CDC) of Lansing Central Schools, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization whose sole purpose is to support and further the educational opportunities of Lansing students by providing equipment and technology.  It is the aim of the CDC to fund projects that are outside of the district budget and have high impact to as many students as possible.

In October 2008 the CDC presented the Board of Education with a check for $60,000 for an audio/video broadcast center for the Elementary School, a CNC machine and computers for the Technology Program and six interactive whiteboards, from Promethean. And in March 2009, the CDC presented a check for $1475 towards new heart rate monitors for the High School.

The CDC raises money through its annual auction and dance.   This year’s event will be held on October 24th at the Lake Watch Inn on East Shore Drive in Lansing.
