The Hall County Board of Education approved $70,000 Tuesday at its regular meeting for the purchase of classroom calculators. The board discussed students’ need for calculators during the Georgia Milestones Assessments beginning this year. Superintendent Will Schofield said at the board’s work session Jan. 12 that he was reticent to purchase calculators if they would be used only on the state test.
