St. Louis Post-Dispatch: As the fall draws near, and school districts race to prepare for virtual learning, a national shortage of easy-to-use, inexpensive laptop computers is leaving some districts here with waylaid shipments and delayed orders.
Jennings School District has 175 on order. But they won’t get there in time for the first day of school. And the Granite City School District bought 3,000 in June, but the shipment was turned around by U.S. customs — it’s not clear why — forcing the district to scramble a new order late last month. The Maplewood-Richmond Heights School District ordered 500 this past spring. They haven’t yet arrived.
