I am glad they are getting something into the students hands but is not a wise use of their money to have macbooks as that choice.
They are certainly entitled to spend their money any way they want. Personally I would rather see the money spent wisely to extend the effectiveness of every dollar. They are by no means doing that.
There are certainly uses you can come up with that macbooks would be the perfect tool for but in general it is a huge waste of resources.
This is a typical boondoggle if you ask me they go to the public and float a vote on a bond promising great changes and even delivering on some but in the process squander a lot of that money.
Great that they used the money to provide macbooks but what happens in 4 years when those macbooks die? They will have to float another bond to replace them.
The money they spent on those macbooks equals nearly a third of their annual school budget. That is short sighted stupidity imho.
