Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) has arranged for a shipment of 25 surplus computers to five Vermont Schools through the U.S. Senate’s Computers for Schools programs. Overseen by the Senate’s Sergeant At Arms, the program was established to offer surplus computers to classrooms across the country.
Leahy worked with Vermont Agency of Education officials to identify Vermont schools with the highest needs for computers. They jointly identified five schools, which have now received five computers each. Donations have arrived at the five schools below:
- Clarendon Elementary School, Clarendon
- Orwell Village School, Orwell
- Hardwick Elementary School, Hardwick
- Bellows Falls Union High School, Bellows Falls
- Milton High School, Milton
Leahy said: “Computers are essential learning and teaching tools in modern classrooms. For years I have enjoyed having online chats with Vermont students, and computers are increasingly used for lessons, assignments, research and homework. I’m proud to have helped find a new life and purpose for these surplus computers in Vermont schools.”
