PCS Edventures! Announces Holiday Furlough

BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 7, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PCSV) today announced holiday furlough and altered business hours for the weeks prior to and after Christmas.  

PCS will scale back its development, fulfillment, and accounting, department operations in a non-paid furlough from December 20th to December 31st this year.  Public schools typically stop receiving product prior to Christmas and through the holiday break, so it is not possible to deliver products during the holiday season.  "We experience this holiday slowdown each year when a large percentage of our employees are typically away from the office anyway," said Robert Grover, President, CTO, and COO of PCS Edventures.  "This year we have decided to implement some cost-saving measures that will coincide with the holiday season when business with schools is virtually nonexistent anyway."  

The PCS sales staff will continue to work during this time, focusing its efforts on the non-school affiliated afterschool programs.  Many of these programs finalize budgets and purchase materials for 2011 summer camps in December and January for delivery to sites after March.  "We have dedicated all of our sales personnel to working the phones during this important business time for afterschool programs," said Bill Albert, Vice President of the PCS Afterschool Business Unit.  "With December just starting, we are already beginning to receive summer camp orders and anticipate this will continue at a strong pace for the coming 60 days."

PCS plans to return to full staffing levels and normal hours of business beginning January 3, 2011.
