District plans iPad program and student Internet access
The district will issue iPads to about 2,500 middle school students at the start of next school year. Possible access avenues include district Wi-Fi hotspots, public Wi-Fi, or reduced price Internet service. Current hotspots at high schools would require funding to expand to middle schools. The Apple device lease is paid from capital outlay, with 1 percent interest over four years and options to purchase for $1 or sell back to Apple. Even offline, materials are accessible via iTunes U cached on devices. The plan may require a two to three pronged approach involving community access points and low-cost services.
