1:1 Laptop Updates
Old news but good news. Dr. Fortuna had approved a change in platform for our high school’s 1:1 project. We will be changing over to an Apple operating system. Currently, we have Microsoft Windows OS, but with the new project, we have the opportunity to change. The change in platform was the result of a thorough inclusive decision making process. The process involved a vendor/project evaluation done by staff and student groups, an evaluation by the project core committee and final recommendation to the headmaster.
Mahalo to everyone for their support.
