The document proposes a plan to implement netbooks in Virginia Beach Public Schools to update aging technology and textbooks on tight budgets. It would replace outdated laptop carts and textbooks with lower-cost netbooks for around $278 each, allowing all students to have individual portable devices. Over three years, netbooks would be rolled out across all schools to enhance learning with up-to-date resources while compressing total costs compared to traditional textbooks. Teachers would receive training, and funding options would help provide devices for low-income families.
