School Finally Agrees To Provide Necessary Technology To Students

The Millcreek-West Unity Board of Edu­ca­tion made a big move to bring the dis­trict into the twenty first cen­tury at Monday’s meet­ing.

Stu­dents at Hill­top Junior High and High School will finally be able to com­pete on the same level as stu­dents at most other schools across the coun­try.

The school board voted last evening, to pur­chase three hun­dred Chrome­book lap­tops. The pur­chase means every stu­dent in grades 7 through 12 will have access to one.

The cost of the purchase was $31,915 for three years, and pay­ments will be made with grant funds, leav­ing the gen­eral fund unaffected.
