N.J.'s third largest city now has a laptop for every student after arrival of nearly 10K Chromebooks
A massive shortfall of laptop computers in the Paterson school district has been averted, nine days before the school year will begin with all-remote learning in the state’s third-largest city.
Paterson Schools Superintendent Eileen Shafer announced Sunday night that approximately 9,600 Chromebooks purchased from Trox, an education technology company, arrived in the K-12 district over the past three days.
“I could not be happier to announce to our students and their families that they will have the best remote learning experience possible now that we have enough Chromebooks for all of our students,” Shafer said in a statement provided by the school district.
The cost of the laptops was not disclosed by the district.
Laptops will be delivered to all schools by Tuesday and parents will be contacted about picking them up, according to the statement from the school district.
