In Massachusetts, Carver School administration staff has recently been given the opportunity to obtain the Blackberry Curve, and the best part is that it is a courtesy of the school department.

“If administrators wanted reimbursement, they had to purchase similar phones to help ease tech support,” Gillis said. “We chose the Blackberry Curve. Obviously when the company stops making that model we will encourage them to purchase a similar model.”

According to Chief Operations and Finance Office Matt Gillis, administrative staff is required to be accessible by phone 24/7 for the staff’s support. The school has a plan with AT&T wireless that issues no-cost or low-cost basic cell phones, but Gillis said many of the administrators need more than a basic phone. Some already had their own phones and didn’t want to have to carry a work phone as well.  BlackBerry enables many of them to access school email, calendar updates, and notifications where ever they roam.
