Dive Brief:

• Los Angeles school board members have approved the continued rollout of iPads across the district.
• Thirty-eight schools will now receive the tablets, though the precise number of iPads was not defined in the vote.
• Supporters argued that the iPads were needed to take required tests.

Dive Insight:

The vote goes against the advice of an advisory panel, which recommended late last year that the school district scale back the rollout. There's still a long way to go before the plan's stated goal of giving every student in the district an iPad is reached. Even with this vote, most district students will not have one.
