Poplar Bluff, Missouri - During a meeting led by Sen. Doug Libla (R-Poplar Bluff) on Friday, April 5, at Three Rivers College, Poplar Bluff R-I Superintendent Chris Hon [left] tells a group of Missouri lawmakers—including [to right] Sens. Joe Keaveny and Jason Holsman; and Rep. Courtney Allen Curtis—about the school district’s digital transformation. Each junior high student will be issued a MacBook Air in August, and high schoolers will receive individual laptops during the 2014/15 school year under the one-to-one initiative recently approved by the Board of Education.

Also present were Reps. Steve Cookson, Todd Richardson and Noel Torpey; former legislators Franc Flotron and Billy Pat Wright; officials from Three Rivers and SRG Global of Portageville; and other regional leaders.
