It was the view of some that students are more “invested” in the care of iPads with fees, Hemphill said. That was the view of the technology director of the Inman school district, who said the district had more problems with broken and lost iPads this year after dropping the fee.
Just a thought. Lost, stolen, damaged... IPads are the financial responsibility of the student / parent. Problem solved.
Can someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I did a little math regarding the ipads. $90,000 X 3 years = $270,000 / 475 ipds = $586.42 per ipad. You can buy a single ipad at Best buy for under $500
Complete and total disappointment with the new board. You ran for your positions on the board based on fiscal responsibility yet you prove to be as inept as the last board. Save money ? Retire the bond ? No, spend it !
I just drove down the really nice road to nowhere today. I can only imagine what visitors will be thinking upon arrival. "Gee a center turn lane that runs forever and nowhere to turn to". Oh well, Lawrence has their multi million dollar raod over a swamp and Baldwin can claim the multi million dollar road with a center turn lane and sidewalks going nowhere.

Moran's vote folllows the same line of reasoning you just stated. Background checks dont keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
