About 50 schools in the San Fernando Valley are among the 138 campuses that will benefit from the modernization program approved last week by the school board.

Officials say the upgrade will free teachers and students from having to use computers only in hard-wired classrooms, offering greater flexibility in devising more creative lesson plans and better learning tools.
