Schools move news online to cut paper usage
Experts say distributing newsletters electronically is the future but worry less tech-savvy parents will be left behind. A recent edition of Island Lake Elementary's Wolf Call took on the job of predicting its own demise. Starting in the fall, the Shoreview school's biweekly newsletter will go almost exclusively online. Families that don't have Internet access can get hard copies in the office. Other schools and districts have tried, in varying ways, to reduce the amount of paper shuffling. Experts call the move to use less paper the vanguard of the future, while warning that a narrower communication focus might leave some families behind.
