The Enterprise — Elizabeth Floyd Mair 
Fourth-grade students use their Chromebooks at new desks that can be raised so they can work standing up, rather than sitting, as they choose. The desks are part of the model flexible furniture in the Pine Bush Elementary classroom of teacher Trish McLean, left. If voters approve a proposed $43 million capital project, students in a portion of classrooms at all of Guilderland’s seven schools will get this furniture, for $1,955,731. The flexible furniture gives the students ownership of the space, McLean said. She added, “This is their classroom as much as it is mine.”
