STEUBENVILLE An $8,000 BroadbandOhio Connectivity grant is providing new iPads to benefit visually impaired students in two local school districts.
The technology was acquired by the Jefferson County Educational Service Center and will help students at Buckeye Local and Edison Local Schools update older devices. Funding was used to procure six iPads for the visual impairment unit in both districts and benefits six students as they obtain their education. Officials said costs were split with $2,500 spent for the newer devices and about $5,500 used to purchase public Wi-Fi access.
Nikki Richardson, a teacher of the visually impaired who works through the service center, said the devices will provide updated applications to help them learn.

BERGHOLZ– The Edison Local Board of Education held its final session for 2020 with remote learning and busing issues topping the list of discussion.
The school district entered into fully remote learning on Wednesday due to COVID cases and quarantines and the plan will remain in place until students return from their holiday break on Jan. 4, while leaders discussed the move during its regular meeting on Wednesday at John Gregg Elementary.
“We based it on the number of positive cases and quarantines, and I think at the end of the day it was a good decision because during the last three days numbers increased,” said Superintendent Bill Beattie. “Hopefully, everyone will stay safe so they can come back to school in January.”
