I had emailed Nancy Anderson at DPI to ask about the management of ipads purchased with CSF. This is her reply:

  Hi Amy,     They cannot be purchased with CSF if they are going to be constantly checked out to classrooms. They must be used to support the school library media program. They must also be accessible to all students in the same way that other library materials are. If you use them for instruction and then they need to be checked out to a classroom for work on information literacy, research, reading, etc. work that was something you worked with them on it would be okay. Does that make sense? It is much like textbooks. You would not purchase those with CSF because not all students would have access since they would be used in an individual classroom. Please let me know if you have any other questions or if that doesn’t make sense.     Thanks,   Nancy
