After Perham passed a levy referendum this spring, the school received the OK to purchase iPads for students and staff through the iENGAGE initiative. While the funds will not reach the school until the 2013-2014 school year, the board wanted to begin the iENGAGE initiative sooner.

The school board recently approved a budget with a fund deficit of $781,919 for the 2012-2013 school year in order to begin the program immediately.
