Brinnon School District will buy new laptops

Posted

The Brinnon School District will benefit from state funds to buy new laptops for its students.

The funds will help the district replace older, second-hand laptops for its pre-kindergarten through fourth-grade students.

At the school district’s last meeting, Superintendent Patricia Beathard said a total of 80 laptops are being acquired for students in the district.

The district recently received community donations of about $10,000 to purchase laptops for Brinnon’s middle-schoolers, as well. In addition to the donations, funds that were left over in an account used by the recently shuttered Brinnon Parks & Recreation District were gifted to Brinnon School District to purchase the computers.
