Public School Board Evaluating 21st Century Learning Program

The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board isn't putting the brakes on its 21st Century Learning program, but it is slowing down.

The public school board has spent two million dollars over the past couple of years putting a computer into the hands of every student.

Director of Education Sean Monteith says they want to take some time to evaluate the success of the program now.

Monteith says they still have a number of laptops and net
books in reserve for new students and they want to use those first, before looking at any new purchases.
