Cost Estimates—Pairing a low-cost device with free and open source software enabled us to afford a laptop for every student in grades 9 through 12. The estimated cost for the entire high school—1,725 students—was $578,000. That money would come from the district capital reserve fund.

Without the advocacy and trust of our school board, the one-to-one program would have probably resembled a traditional closed-technology project. Open source software, student root access, and our student team added a unique twist to the program. Providing root access to students provoked a few dramatic responses. Ken Long, Penn Manor Board President, was openly candid with his (legitimate) concern for student and teacher security and safety, saying, “It scares the hell out me.” However, Long and other school board members trusted my team and me. I described how the student wireless network was separate from the staff network and how Linux is immune to Windows viruses. When board members learned more about open source software and understood how each student would have independent access to their personal laptop, they grew confident my team could balance open technology learning opportunities with security.
