Schools everywhere are replacing projectors with tvs because projector bulbs can be upwards of $200 replaced every other year (not counting those absent minded teachers who leave their projector on overnight); and the cost is rising. TV prices, for their lifespan, cost less than replacing bulbs and the price is dropping. Projectors also have double the energy usage and generate heat.

As for teachers only using them as welcome screens, I don't know. More grant money toward training and resources instead?

My guess is that this is talking about flat screens used in common areas for announcements and whatnot. Not screens in rooms.

yeah, I keep waiting for our local district to decide to swap out their smartboards. I want one of those but I'm cheap.

Also, the finance department going "what do you mean a screen needs a consumable?!"

We're looking at swapping the conference room projector for a screen now. £200 bulb, £600 for a mahoosive TV that's much brighter.
