Ethan Kaiser shared about Esports to the School Board last night.
The School Board approved a Benton Esports team for next school year.
At last night's School Board meeting, a Promethean Board overview was given by a couple of kindergarten teachers who have been piloting the implementation of the device. The Board approved the purchase for more Promethean Boards in the district for next year.
