Perrysburg schools may allow iPads, iPods

2/22/2012

Perrysburg school officials are considering letting students bring iPads, iPods, smart phones, and other hand-held devices to school.

The school board heard a first reading on the policy Tuesday and is expected to vote on the issue March 19. Under the policy, students in all grades could use electronic devices before and after school and during lunch or in class at the teacher's discretion.

In December, school officials said they were considering buying such devices for high school students. The move could happen as early as January, 2013, at an estimated cost of $360,000.
