Yesterday, KCRG TV9 News came out to do a story at our school. We are one of the few districts in the state that offers WiFi on our school buses. Because we have such a large district that travels over several hundred miles, kids can be on the bus for an hour or more each way to school. Our 7-12 students all have school-issued iPads, so this allows them to continue to work on and even turn in their homework while on the bus. Even after sporting events, athletes can work on homework rather than waiting until they get home after a late game and long drive back to school.
Our son, Bennett was interviewed for this story and I'm happy to share it with you! Click the link below to be taken to the story.
