School Purchases Questioned

Purchases from Amazon.com by the Green River School District include, curriculum mapping materials and books, textbooks and some supplies. For example, the district purchased 25 copies “The Outsiders” in paperback, two copies of “The Outsiders” play in paperback and the film version of “The Outsiders” for $250.57. Those purchases were made for Green River High School’s language arts department. From Apple Inc., the district purchased four 64 gigabite iPads with Wi-Fi connectivity, along with four iPad cases and two iPad camera connection kits. The iPads, listed as equipment purchases for various administrative offices are part of the district’s commitment to keep up with emerging technology. The Green River star requested the numbers after a number of people on it's website asked about the expenditures.
