Getting computers?
Fort Recovery Schools officials plan to equip all freshmen with their own netbook computers next school year.
The students would use the computers throughout their high school career, technology director John Jutte announced at a recent meeting of the school board. Each year, succeeding freshmen would be given netbooks.
The goal of the program is to place technology in the hands of students. If the netbook program is implemented, school officials project that two of the three high school computer labs will no longer be needed.
