The Geary USD 475 Board of Education has approved the purchase of 1-to-1 Initiative Computer Cases. They will be used to protect student operated laptop computers in the district at the Freshman Success Academy, Eisenhower Elementary, and Sheridan Elementary Schools. The price tag has been calculated at $72,196.20.

An E-Rate program will provide 80% of the funding and the net cost to the school district will total $14,431.

The Board also agreed to the purchase of recabling for Sheridan and Eisenhower Elementary Schools. The E-Rate provides most of the $28,000 needed for that project, with the net cost to the district calculated at $5,600.
