1-1

Interesting article in KC Star regarding the levy increase issue for Park Hill School District. The mostly favorable article features the positive aspects of each student having a computer, thus 1-1. However, the mention of author Amanda Ripley's perspectives on 1-1 put a bit of chill in the hearts of the levy proponents. She was in KC recently and spoke to these facts...Asian and European countries who performed better than US students on international tests average 13 to 1 computers per student vs the US 5-1. Her take? It's not the "shiny objects" that make high performing schools.

Has the PH School District made the case for a 32 cent levy increase and the expenditure of $23 million over the next 5 years? You get to decide on April 8th.
