'Sale of the century' for computers of this century
Students at Century Middle School are frustrated with slow, outdated computers, so after Lakeville residents voted down a technology levy last fall, they planned a huge garage sale to raise money.The morning after November's school levy referendum in Lakeville, a disgruntled Yasin Elabdi and some friends in his eighth-grade homeroom at Century Middle School decided that enough was enough. For the second time in two years, voters had nixed a technology levy, dashing the students' hopes that their school would finally be able to replace its slow-as-molasses computers. "We were kind of disappointed that the levy didn't pass for technology, because our computers aren't really good," said Elabdi, 14.
