Wash. school may turn down $43K in free Macs - Peter Cohen, MacCentral

Writing for the King County Journal, Nora Doyle reports that Tukwila, Wa.'s cash-strapped Foster High School may have to turn down US$43,000 worth of free Macs because of a PC-only IT policy already in place. According to the report, a teacher at the school applied for a grant offered by a nonprofit organization to outfit the school with 30 new Macs and six new laser printers. The school won the grant, but ran into a snag: A technology plan adopted in 2000 requires Tukwila-area schools to use only Windows PCs, not Macs.
