iPads For School Kids?

Adams, Franklin, and Washington Elementary Schools and La Cuesta High School were chosen to participate in the new one-to-one iPad pilot program this school year. Third through 6th graders and 11th graders at the four schools can expect iPads in their backpacks beginning in January, pending further dialogue between the district, teachers, parents and students this fall. The initiative could cost up to $660,000 from Common Core State Standards Implementation funds for the year, depending on how many students opt to provide their own tablet or purchase one on a three-year-plan for about $20 per month.
