Cambridge City School District board members get a taste of what students experience

CAMBRIDGE − Cambridge City School District Board of Education members sampled a little taste of what students at the Cambridge Intermediate School experience each day during the recent board meeting.

Led by principal Laurie Goggin, several teachers taught board members a little bit of the language and math curriculum. They also used student Chromebooks to try some of the computer pieces the students use.
