They'd go through so many of those clear sheets drawing shite on there.

They have overhead projectors but they’re digital and hooked up to display the computer

I found a few weeks ago one in the back of storage room. We haven’t used those in years.

Had a teacher I work with find one in her class while doing pre summer cleaning and she sent an email freaking out asking if anyone wanted it.

She ended up throwing it away.

We have document cameras in our school for things that we’d need an overhead for previously.

Can confirm. My wife teaches in a crappy school and they still use them.

Nothing better than the smell of those purple print sheets hot off the press.

What about the opaque projectors? GOAT in 1979.

Eh Wichita is far from being a rich white person district and every class in every school in the district has one.

Did they not realize they could simply draw on the glass itself and just wipe it clean?

We have interactive Prometheum boards where I teach in every class. Many math teachers uses their digital overheads for practical purposes.

Heck, even in Tunica MS where I taught in 2012 we had them there.
