FARMINGTON -- Hundreds of elementary school students in the Davis School District will each get a laptop in the fall. It's a pilot program being tested this summer.
About 50 to 60 students enrolled in the district's summer math and science classes now have their own Dell Mini 10.
Davis secondary science supervisor Jodi Lunt says they will see how it goes this summer, but plan to give laptops to students at two elementary schools and a junior high in the fall.
"Our hope is that as we open our new junior high school in 2011, that we can go as paperless as possible," she says.
Lunt stresses that this program will not cost any extra money, but is a way to use current funds more effectively and efficiently.
