This week, students from Herndon and South Lakes High School are picking up laptops from their respective schools as part of the new county schools initiative “FCPSOn.”
Fairfax County Public Schools plans to issue computers to all high school students in the county through the initiative. It is meant to transform learning for students and educators by providing ““equitable access to meaningful learning experience and technology to support their learning.”
A $50 annual fee is required for the program.
As the initiative rolls out, we’d love to hear your thoughts on what you think of the program in the poll below.
