Clarendon CISD this week announced new phone numbers will be assigned to every office in the school district as part of an expansion of the CCISD phone system.
CCISD Technology Director & District Safety Officer Butch Noble told the Enterprise the school tried for several weeks to find a way to keep the existing phone numbers with the new system before deciding to replace the numbers.
“We are expanding our phone system to put a phone in every classroom both for security and safety as well as convenience,” Noble said. “Also, at some point we will start using the phones for the bell system.”
Noble said part of the trouble with keeping the 874 Clarendon prefix numbers has to do with the Texas Department of Information Resources and how the school’s phone numbers are billed to the Region 16 Education Service Center in Amarillo and not directly to CCISD.
“I have not had any luck trying to get the numbers ported (to the new phone system); and after several weeks of trying, we decided to just go with new numbers,” Noble said.
School officials were not exactly sure what day the change over would take place, but they are asking all parents, students, and community members to please take note of their new numbers, write them down for future reference, and change the contact information in your phones: Administration – 806-310-7220, High School – 806-310-7901, Junior High School – 806-310-7655, and Elementary School – 806-310-7760.
