The East Baton Rouge Parish School System is among the leading public school districts in the state when it comes to implementing new technology in classrooms over the past six months, Superintendent of Education John White announced today. According to Louisiana Department of Education figures, 72 of 73 schools in the district are now meeting a minimum standard of having a 7:1 student-to-computer ratio for testing. Of those meeting the requirement, 46 schools are also meeting a higher 3:1 ratio. The local success of technology implementation is part of a larger statewide effort by LDOE, which has been working to get the state’s schools prepared for tougher classes and online testing that is set to begin in the 2014-15 school year. Over the past six months, the number of Louisiana school districts with sufficient devices to administer the online tests rose from 5 to 17, LDOE says. LDOE has more on today’s announcement here.
