More often than not, economic development begins with education. This concept is the basis of the 1:1 Laptop Initiative, funded by the Golden LEAF Foundation along with private funding from SAS and the NC General Assembly, which seeks to reform high schools by providing laptop computers to students and teachers in school districts in rural areas of the state. Created as a replicable model, the 1:1 initiative will guide the implementation of the program throughout North Carolina's public schools and afford all students access to a twenty-first-century classroom environment.
