OKEMOS - After the Tax Bond Proposal for Building and Technology Purposes passed on November 5, 2013, Okemos High School will see a new technology upgrades this fall.

The upgrade will allow students to learn and progress academically to further their creativity while incorporating every day technology into the curriculum.

The wi-fi at Okemos has been updated and teachers have been issued new laptops along with in class projectors. Students, however, are seeing a huge benefit from the change.

"Each student is going to be issued a computer, it's going to be district owned but it will be issued to them, and then they'll be responsible for it throughout the school year," Assistant Principal Steve Delp said. "They'll be able to take it home, to the coffee shop wherever they want to go to learn with it both here at school and outside of the school and then they'll turn it in at the end of the school year."

Each computer will be connected to the district server allowing students to access programs needed for school. Students will be limited to what they can access on the school laptops.
