Douglas School District board meetings could soon be paperless if the district agrees to buy iPads for board members. The board is considering a proposal to buy an Apple tablet computer for each of the seven members to reduce costs and eliminate paper. Board members could view documents before and during meetings, eliminating the need to send out packets before the two meetings each month. The devices would let board members browse the internet and check e-mail accounts. Superintendent Loren Scheer said the district has tried to create more energy efficient ways to run the district, and technology is part of that.
