School buses will be receiving wi-fi starting on March 1st, because the Superintendent of Leaguetown High School [Kelli Putman] made the decision, and an anonymous donation was made by a local business for the cause.

Superintendent Putman said, “We are fortunate to have a local business to donate $25,000 for our students that deserve every opportunity to learn. This service will last for at least three years.” There was also some information that was said, but not by Putman, like “the router costs $200 each, with a monthly fee of $60, for 10 buses.”

Also, bus driver [Calvin Baker] said, “The morning rides are pretty quiet, but the students get restless and rowdy on the way home. It makes rides difficult, but with their computers, I bet the rides will be much quieter and calmer.” This statement may be true, but Baker states he ‘bet’ the rides will be much quieter and calmer, it was not promised.

Along with the bus rides being serene, social studies teacher [Matt Fedeor] said, “This will make life easier for some of my seniors, who are required to read newspaper articles, and comment on the articles on our class blog twice a week.” Fedeor had also said, “Several of my students give up their lunch to do the assignment because they can’t do it at home.” The issue that students would have to give up lunch to do their homework would be solved once wi-fi has been inserted into school buses.

A student also had a comment about the buses having wi-fi. Junior [Mariah Nunes] had said, “My Spanish teacher gives us extra credit if we do assignments from a Spanish website. I could definitely use some extra credit in that class, so I am excited about this.”
