Laguna Beach schools are embracing the empowering possibilities of technology. With the support of $150,000 raised by SchoolPower’s 2013 Fund-a-Need, LBUSD installed a critical upgrade to its wireless infrastructure at all four schools.

Our teachers have shown how iPads, Apple TVs and Chromebook laptops promote depth, efficiency and the cross-disciplinary learning essential to the Common Core. The benefits and potential to instruction are profound.

The next step is to place more of these powerful devices in our classrooms. For the 2014 Fund-a-Need, LBUSD has requested:

144 iPads (4 Carts), Apple Care and iPad Covers – $ 99,572
144 Chromebooks (4 Carts) and 3-year support – $ 49,556
15 Apple TVs, HDMI Cords, large screen monitors – $ 37,880
Total = $187,008

In response, SchoolPower has set its highest Fund-a-Need goal yet. With your generosity, we hope to raise over $187,000!
