At local schools, a push to use less paper

The technology used in classrooms at the school not only helps engage students, said Klamath Falls City Schools superintendent Paul Hillyer, but helps reduce the district’s paper use. “They’ve reduced significantly their use of papers, and even books to a certain extent, because they can do so much on the iPad,” he said. Classrooms district-wide are still a long way, Hillyer said, from a paperless classroom. But initiatives at the district to save on copies made, and paper and toner used in those copies, could save the district $50,000 next year on its $100,000 copying-related costs. “Our hope is to reduce our copying costs by half,” Hillyer said. Scott Mahaffey, the district’s director of technology, said the district in July closed its print shop. In its place, the district leased photocopiers.
