"In the past three years, 490 laptops at public schools and district offices went missing, either stolen or lost, according to figures the district compiled through March."
This is old news to me. Ten or more years ago, I heard this was going on, and had been going on. How have they been dealing with this problem all of this time? Do they know where any of their inventory is? Someone finally got caught stealing lawn tractors only after a whistle blower jumped up and down.
At least it sounds like they can provide "up to date" reports of theft. At least they can't say they don't know that it is happening.
