When North Carolina’s Guilford County Schools had a tablet charger melt inside a student’s home in October 2013, it could have marked the end of the district’s $16 million effort to give every middle school student a digital device. Instead, district leaders reacted quickly and decisively, suspending the program until they could ensure the safety of every child. They also negotiated for higher-quality devices and other concessions from their tablet supplier, and they kept the community informed at every turn. With these improvements in hand, Guilford County relaunched the program last fall, which is part of an overall $35 million effort to personalize instruction—and so far there have been no major problems.
