ROCHESTER, Minn. — Several thousand students at six Rochester schools will soon be learning on new iPads. School board members voted unanimously on Nov. 10, with one member not in attendance, to purchase 3,480 Apple iPads at a cost of roughly $1.4 million. Each device will reportedly cost the school district $374, and the program will be funded through the district’s general fund and operating capital, according to KAAL TV.
