CENTRAL CITY - Soon students in the Central City School District won't
have to worry about whether or not they'll have a computer to use.
Starting this fall, students there will have their very own laptops.

Computer time is hard to come by for Central City students. Finding a
free keyboard during class time can be a challenge.

³You have to claim your territory,² says Sophomore Kolin Schmidt.

Claim a computer before someone else steps in. This fall, friendly
fights over tech time will fade. The district is making a hefty purchase.

³A total of about 380 computers,² says Superintendent John Dotson.

Meaning classrooms will be littered with laptops. All students in fifth
through twelfth grades and their teachers will have their own portable
computers for use at school and at home."

More taxpayers dollars wasted on the lasted educational fad that has
zero evidence to support that it does anything to improve education,
you mean.
The taxpayers of Iowqa should demand a recall election of these
fiscally irresponsible fadmongers.

Technology is a ... fad? LOL! That is darn funny...
