Our district of about 100 schools is beginning to install School Vista
in about 20 schools
(1 classroom each).

We now find that IBM has discontinued it in the U.S. along with the
lessonware.
All our schools have NetVista which is also being taken off the market.

We see that you are using SchoolVista.  How is this going to affect you?

Do you have any thoughts on our district's decision to go ahead with
spending $1.4 million (plus about $10,000 from each
school through fundraising and existing budgets for books & technology)?

Did you know that IBM had backed out?
