LA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 16, 2001

Presenting Solutions, the largest Web-centric provider of portable projectors and presentation products, won the bid to supply the Grossmont Unified School District (GUSD) with projectors through October 2001.

The bid, valued in excess of $231,000 is for more than 100 Epson EMP500, EMP700 and the Sony VPL-CS2 projectors. The equipment will be used as part of California's Digital High School Project for which all 11 of GUSD's high schools are participants.

The project is a multi-million dollar effort designed to build the necessary network infrastructure needed to prepare California's schools to take advantage of advances in network technology.

Warren Williams, GUSD assistant superintendent, said he was enthusiastic about expanding the role of computers and Internet technology in the classroom.

"These projectors will primarily be used as teaching aids in classrooms. Presenting Solutions has provided extraordinarily competitive pricing and excellent support as the equipment is installed," he said.

"We are discussing the installation of larger projectors in some of our larger conference rooms and meeting centers."

Art Feierman, president of Presenting Solutions, based in San Clemente, Calif., said the GUSD was laying the foundation for an Internet-based learning environment. "Projectors that display bright text and graphics without the need for a darkened room are an ideal way of presenting information to students. We are extremely pleased to be a part of this effort."
