ATTICA, Ind. (WLFI) - Attica High School students will have a new school supply to carry to class in the fall of 2011. The Attica Consolidated School Corporation will give students in grades 9 through 12 a Dell laptop computer when school starts in the fall.
The computers and wireless building connections will cost the district about $135,000. Attica Junior-Senior High School Principal David Ryan said the laptops will be used in all classes.
"Every student will have their own laptop. That laptop will be available for them to take home to use and at school. It will be used for every one of their activities in school,” he said.
The laptops will take the place of most textbooks. The school district hopes to expand the laptop program to 7th and 8th grade students in the 2012-2013 school year. In the 2013-14 school year, the district plans to give elementary students in grades 3 and up laptops.
