It Does Make A Difference!
 Technology turns California school around,
officials say
Sacramento-area school officials say 400 wireless
laptops -- worth about $1 million -- have reduced
suspension rates by 50% and brought about a sea
change in the scores and behavior of its students,
many who are poor and 80% who do not have
access to computers at home. "I see enthusiasm for
learning and wanting to be in school, and that's
powerful," said Rita Phillips, elementary schools
coordinator with Sacramento City Unified School
District. The Sacramento Bee (Calif.)
