School districts use tablets to eliminate snow days
NO MORE SNOW DAYS: A pilot program in five school districts sends every student home with a Chromebook. When inclement weather keeps them from coming into class, they log on from home to do their daily lessons.

A pilot program in five school districts sends every student home with a Chromebook.

When inclement weather keeps them from coming into class, they log on from home to do their daily lessons.
