VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) - Students in the Vicksburg Warren School District will be able to use tablets and smartphones for educational purposes, such as looking up words in dictionaries - though just when isn’t clear.
The Vicksburg Post (https://bit.ly/1ijBH8G ) reports that the district’s Board of Trustees voted 5-0 Thursday night for what they call a “bring your own device” policy. They didn’t say when the new policy will start.
Superintendent Chad Shealy says it will match those in some nearby districts.
Rankin and Madison counties already allow such use.
The board also authorized district athletic director Lum Wright Jr. to check prices for scoreboards for Vicksburg and Warren Central high schools. He says both are from the early to middle 1980s. Wright says there are no longer any spare parts for Warren Central’s scoreboard.
