HR Schools To Study Student Smartphone & Tablet Use

The Hood River County School District is going to take a look at how its students are using smartphones and tablets, both in their education and at a personal level.  Superintendent Bill Newton says they sent out a survey last week to families, staff, and 6th to 12th grade students to get their thoughts.  Newton says they will have a district board worksession on the topic on June 18.  The goal is to line out common expectations for the next school year around the use of district-provided technology by students, and personal cell phones as well.
