About this Article

After reviewing the many positive impacts iPads are having on instructors and students, the Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 school board agreed Thursday to allow for the expansion of the district's one-on-one program, which put iPads in the hands of 1,500 students last fall. That means between 6,000 and 7,000 additional students will get their own iPads next school year.
