Maybe she was working at the reserve ?
I didn't have chalkboards in all of highschool or the latter half of elementary school.
When did they stop using chalkboards?
The significant change to whiteboards came around 1994-1995 when it became obvious that chalk dust affected nearby computers. Over the next decade, chalkboards made their way out of schools and businesses, and whiteboards replaced them.

York, Durham, and Peel tend to have more whiteboards or better, as they have newer buildings than Toronto. Toronto TDSB, however, still have many chalkboard. Lower socioeconomic neighborhood schools tend to have mostly chalkboard & older technology & 20 year old chairs and desks. I can assure you that some of these schools can be used as a movie set for 1970s without much change.
I initially thought it was an obvious discrimination, but it's not exactly so.....
These equipment upgrades have to come out of each school's budget, instead of the board budget. Lower economic neighborhood schools actually get a bit more budget. However, these schools choose to spend the money on things like breakfast program for kids & supplementing field trip fees for kids.
