Muskego-Norway Begins Rollout Of Laptop Initiative

School officials say the initial rollout of the Muskego-Norway School District's 1-to-1 laptop program is over—and a success. 

It was no easy task for school leaders to distribute some 900 Chromebooks to new fifth-graders and freshmen, Chief Information Officer Tony Spence told the School Board Monday night. But that's exactly what was accomplished last week, the first week of school. 


"This is a process that goes from mass chaos to organized chaos, and that's about 90 percent of the battle," he said.

"We have to go from that organized chaos point and work toward perfection. We're looking for feedback from students, parents and especially teachers."

The initiative, which aims to put a laptop in the hands of every student, will continue to be phased in over the next three years.

The district's goal is to help students develop technology skills, collaborate better with staff and other students and get timely feedback from teachers.
