Tanglewood and Magnolia schools. At Magnolia, they are considering
using technology as initiative for their students. Students will receive
their own personal ipads for school use, this will allow students to
record lessons, complete worksheets, assignments, and projects
without using a single sheet of paper.

Additionally, a database will be created for teachers to post grades
online. There will be no need for the traditional hand written grades.
This will give parents access to their child's grades at any time.

Magnolia is also working to become more energy efficient by
installing motion activated lights.
Tanglewood was build in 1889 named after Mr. Albert Tanglewood.
Tanglewood once served students graded levels K-4, recently (2010)
this changed to K-3 due to budget cuts. 2013-2014 Tanglewood had a
total of 534 students and 31 teachers, leaving the student/teacher ratio
