REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
-----------------------
We desire information about advanced hardware or software systems that
could be acquired for use in the Model School. In addition to computers,
courseware, and networks, the District is interested in peripherals that
address the needs of younger children and children with disabilities, such
as special keyboards, graphic displays, voice synthesisers, etc.
The Berkeley Unified School District is investing substantial funds in the
school, staff and technology. We seek collaboration, sponsorship, assis-
tance and state-of-the-art products. People of many disciplines, skills and
viewpoints are working together to make major advances. We invite you to
explore fuller involvement and/or participation in any of the major aspects
of this exciting project. Please contact us at cjet@amber@berkeley or call
