Brad Hagg, WCS chief technology officer, said the proposal is for the purchase of 2,810 iPads for elementary, middle and high school students.
The school will purchase them over a four-year period through a lease with Apple.

Students in grades sixth through eighth currently take home iPads, but under the new program grades fifth to 12th also would have them.
