It is great to see such support from the business community to ensure the future of the laptop program. I do hope that with this invigoration that improvements to the program will also be made.

I actually understand why however, the Council may have rejected the plan. I don’t believe it came down to a matter of fiscal issues, but more a matter of the functioning of the program. I also think that the way the press represented the issue as being about studies on the success of the program/improved test scores was a bit like an apple to a papaya comparison. Just my opinion.

Other county news – it appears that the Village Center Board is in a state of flux and does not have the definite support of the new council…will see where this progress goes.
