This school year ninth and tenth grade students attending Stonewall Jackson, Gar-field and Freedom high schools in Prince William County will be receiving tablets for educational use.
A.J. Phillips, Supervisor of Instructional Technology for Prince William County Schools, believes the tablets will be “a real benefit for the students.”
Virginia schools that were not fully accredited for the 2013-14 school year based upon Standard of Learning (SOL) tests administered in the spring of 2013 qualified to participate in the statewide education program via the Virginia e-Learning Backback Initiative supplemental grant, which provides 80 percent funding for purchase of Asus T100s tablets.
