SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) honored Chelmsford Public Schools on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 as the latest recipient
of the Extreme Exemplary School Award. Winners are chosen each
quarter based on their steadfast commitment to implementing a
personalized digital learning environment for every student, while
embodying the best in American education by successfully engaging
students in 1:1 or mobile learning.
Recognized as a "Top 100" school by the U.S. Department of
Education and invited to participate in the National Connected
Superintendents Summit at the White House, Chelmsford Public Schools has made digital
learning and the adoption of innovative technology a priority. From
the classroom to the football field, Chelmsford is able to support over 5,000
students and 366 teachers on the network with the deployment of its
wired and wireless network infrastructure. This has allowed the
school to support its mission to cultivate well-rounded lifelong
learners by providing an unmatched digital learning environment.
This year the district school added over 230 Chromebooks and 65 IP
cameras. The Exemplary School Award is presented to schools that
meet the following criteria:
- Stimulate 24x7 Learning: To meet the demands of today's
competitive global economy, schools must create lifetime learners.
To promote this concept and qualify for the Extreme Exemplary
School Award, a school must institute a 1:1 or Bring Your Own
Device (BYOD) mobile learning environment.
- Facilitate Individual Instruction: Learning is not a
one-size-fits-all environment. Networks and resources must be
empowered to permit personalized learning.
- Encourage Curricular Growth: To meet the demands of
curricular change, a district must implement an infrastructure that
readily adapts to curricular needs. Everyone learns differently,
and the network must be prepared to meet the growing requirements
of eBooks, streaming video and blended or flipped learning.
"Chelmsford Public Schools is
pleased to receive this award from Extreme Networks. Our teachers
and our administration work hard to deliver emerging technologies
to our classrooms, and continuously work at improving student
outcomes by using innovative approaches to teaching and learning
with technology," said Dr. Jay Lang,
superintendent at Chelmsford
Public Schools.
"At Extreme Networks, we take pride in delivering top of
the line wired and wireless networking solutions that help schools
create the best classroom experience possible," said Robert Nilsson, director of vertical solutions
at Extreme Networks. "Chelmsford
Public Schools is a role model for other schools striving to
deliver engaging 21st century learning environments and
we are proud to recognize the school for their hard work in meeting
students' digital learning needs."
Extreme presented the Exemplary School Award during the School
Committee Meeting on February 7, 2017
in Chelmsford, MA.
