Thanks to a grant from the Ohio Department of Education, Paulding Exempted Village School District will be getting more than a half million dollars to be earmarked for laptops for some 600 middle and high school students next year.
The $600,000 grant will go toward providing laptop computers for students in grades 7 through 12 with the start of the 2014-15 school year. Those computers will be used for classroom and state testing, as well as daily learning when incorporated into the curriculum.
The district does not currently have a one-on-one student/computer program.
