LA School District Shifting Away from Apple's iPad to Windows and Chromebook

A recent report confirmed the Los Angeles Unified School District is planning to switch up a $1 billion technology in education project. The change allows certain high schools in its jurisdiction to choose from six different Windows and Chromebook laptops instead of Apple’s iPad. According to the Los Angeles Times, LAUSD officials recently signed off on a plan that will let 27 high schools in the district choose from one of six laptop and hybrid computer designs, none of which are Apple products.
