School board buys 80 laptops for elementary

New computers will be coming to Hillsboro Elementary, with 80 Chrome Books being supplied to students in kindergarten through second grade.

The $23,840 purchase was approved at Monday’s school board meeting, and was already accounted for in the school’s budget. The purchase will supply 10 Chrome books for each classroom, which will replace the school’s iPads.

There is already one available for each third grader through high school senior.

Terry Bebermeyer was approved as the Spanish I and Spanish II teacher for the high school and middle school. The courses will be offered online, with 62 students registered. Bebermeyer will earn $874.00 per semester per class, plus $17.50 per student per semester.
