Show Notes
Omaha Public Schools faces a $50 million budget shortfall, prompting a plan to drop cellular data plans on student iPads, saving $7 million annually. While most elementary students wont be affected, older students without home Wi-Fi may face challenges. The district promises support, including social workers connecting families to local internet options and schools providing cellular tablets for loan. The change takes effect this summer, with devices still usable for classwork, paper homework, and online tasks with school support.
