A Note from Ferris ISD

Written by Bill Laurienti

It’s always gratifying to hear from our new educational partners.

Christi Nies, Director of Curriculum for Ferris Independent School District in Texas sent this note to one of our implementation team members.

Thank you so much. We were absolutely amazed by the entire installation process. From the professionalism of the installers, to the willingness to work with our technology department to alleviated their fears, every single aspect of the installation was perfection. We are forever grateful for CLS and look forward to collaborating for years to come.

Take care and maybe we will see you again one day when you are installing labs all over the Dallas-Fort Worth area … because that is definitely going to happen once districts see all of the amazing things that are happening in Ferris ISD!
