The Manhattan-Ogden school board on Wednesday debated whether too much screen time was hurting students — and whether moving away from devices would hobble students down the road.
The board was revisiting a discussion about replacing iPads after having tied 3-3 on the issue at a previous meeting. On Wednesday, board members voted 5-2 to replace 1,200 iPads in the district at a cost of $388,800. Board members Courtney Jane Hochman and Katie Allen opposed.
Currently, every student in the district has an assigned device. The district repairs or replaces them on a rolling basis.
