The following chart outlines the cost estimates of installing a phone in every classroom and <br /> upgrading the phone system to handle the increased number of phones: <br /> Cost of Phone System Upgrades <br /> Schl 1994-95 1995-96 1996-97 <br /> Carr 17506 <br /> Eph 16198 <br /> Estes 15781 <br /> FPG 19451 <br /> Gin 16870 <br /> S wl 8092 <br /> Culb 13877 <br /> Phl 18543 <br /> CHHS 24783 <br /> Total 75977 67032 8092 <br /> With a consideration for budgetary constraints,the phone system upgrades span a three-year <br /> period. The Seawell phone system was upgraded in 1992 and phones only need to be added to a <br /> number of the classrooms. The Culbreth phone system was recently upgraded but is scheduled for <br /> another upgrade to the same system recommended for the other schools. <br /> Funding for a voice mail system is not included in the above cost estimates. The minimal cost for a <br /> typical voice mail system is$5000.00 per school and the Committee recommends that the schools <br /> pursue the funding for a voice mail system. The funding for fax machines is also not included in <br /> the above estimates,but a typical plain paper fax machine on state contract capable of supporting <br /> the volume of use at a school costs approximately$1400.00. These plain paper fax machines are <br /> also capable of functioning as a simple document scanner. Thermal paper fax machines, on the <br /> other hand, are not capable of functioning as a document scanner and costs range between$400.00 <br /> and $850.00. <br /> 10 <br />
