Is it just me, or does something seem wrong here?
Later in the article it goes on to describe how the thefts occured from 4 different schools, some of them hit multiple times. So the schools have dozens of laptop computers just laying around unsecured? After the 1st school was broken into, the administration did not ensure that word was spread throughout the district to secure laptops in other buildings?
The value of these 100 laptops was over $158,000? Why in the world is the school district paying $1500 apiece for a laptop? A quick visit to BestBuy.com reveals 8 laptops currently priced under $400. I'm sure with the volume that a district would purchase additional discounts would apply.
Reading this, I see more of the "thieves and thugs, stealing educational opportunities directly from the students" at the adminstrative level. Truly sad. :[[
