LAUSD can't find its own computers

Up to $400 million has been spent on new computers and software for classrooms, but the Los Angeles Unified School District has not tracked where all of the new technology has gone, officials said Monday Sue Doyle in the Daily News..

Since 2004, the district has purchased 129,000 personal computers. But because of haphazard tracking, some classrooms still do not have enough computers for students, while others have computers but not enough software. Meanwhile, some school computers still are operating with outdated systems.

But officials have begun pushing for all district schools to have up-to-date instructional computer facilities, a plan to ensure that obsolete technology is quickly replaced, and tracking on how many personal computers are in which classrooms.
