New for school: More iPads, new buses and updated e-cigarette rules

Denise Jewell Gee

New buses equipped with GPS. More iPads and Chromebooks. Expanded wireless systems.

As students head back to the classroom this week, many will see more technology in school than ever before.

Williamsville administrators will be able to track the location of buses. Sweet Home and Holland will be among the latest wave of districts distributing more iPads to students, and like other districts, Niagara Falls will expand wireless to all of its schools.

“It’s a Google world,” said Cathy Fabiatos, superintendent of Holland Central Schools. “They can get information anywhere they want to. Education has changed.”
