LAUSD iPad Program Could Be Delayed After Security Concerns, Growing Concern
Posted in: Today's ChiliFacing questions about security and other issues, Los Angeles Unified Superintendent John Deasy has proposed a one-year extension in equipping all 600,000 of the district’s students with iPads, pushing completion of the program to December 2015.
Deasy has asked the school board to consider the revised timeline during a special meeting it has scheduled for Oct. 29 to address growing concerns about the iPad rollout. Among the issues expected to be discussed during that session are a security breach that allowed more than 300 students to access unauthorized websites, whether the devices can be taken home and whether the district will have to buy keyboards for the tablets.
The board was expected to award the contract for the second phase of the project in November and scheduled the special meeting so members could get their questions answered before signing off on the plan.
