Atlanta Public Schools Extends Contract with Boxlight

Boxlight Corporation (NASDAQ:BOXL), a leading provider of interactive technology solutions for the global education market, today announced a one year contract extension with Atlanta Public Schools, one of the largest school districts in the United States with enrollment of over 50,000 students.

Boxlight’s original 5-year, district-wide contract was a key component of Atlanta Public School’s quest to increase student engagement and accelerate learning by equipping classrooms with a transformational 21st Century Learning Environment designed to improve “The Four C’s”: critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration. Atlanta Public Schools selected Boxlight as the vendor of choice for all middle and high schools because of their award-winning educational presentation and collaboration software, along with superior hardware and integration.

The Atlanta Public Schools 21st Century Learning Technology Bundle includes the purchase, installation, service, professional development and warranty support for a complete suite of classroom technology, including the Boxlight ProColor interactive flat panel. To date, over 1,100 Boxlight panels have been installed in the district. The contract extension allows Atlanta Public Schools to continue equipping over 500 remaining classrooms.

During the course of the contract, Boxlight has provided upgrades and enhancements including: increasing panel sizes from 70” to 86”, improving panel and document camera resolution from HD to 4K, doubling the speed and reliability of the embedded PC, adding Android and enhanced simultaneous wireless display capability, providing remote management capability, and offering a free upgrade to the robust MimioStudio™ interactive learning software that includes built-in assessment and collaboration tools.

“The Boxlight team is very professional and willing to go above and beyond to help us achieve our objectives. Our internal teams also have a great working relationship with Boxlight. They have been proactive in keeping us informed about new or emerging technologies and have initiated several improvements to our existing solutions,” said Olufemi Aina, Executive Director, Information Technology, Atlanta Public Schools.
