FULTON â Four Fulton City School District staff members received certification under the Federal Aviation Administrationâs rules for unmanned aircraft systems, known as Part 107, to instruct a newly formed class designed to prepare students for careers that involve drone technology.
Carol Teetsel, Geoff Bertollini, Mike Conners and Dan Mainville received their âdrone wingsâ in February during the districtâs virtual Board of Education meeting with a goal to help students earn theirs as well.
Mainville, who instructs the elective class of about 20 G. Ray Bodley (GRB) students, says students are trained using two different aircraft models to become adept at solving mechanical failures and mastering essential piloting skills.
