A new, exciting time has arrived for our high school students in BCPS! The Bullitt County School District has implemented a 1:1 Chromebook initiative, “Access 24”. Beginning in the 2016-2017 school year, students who are a freshman, sophomore, or junior will receive a Google Chromebook. This Access 24 Chromebook program will provide students with an individual Chromebook to participate in new and exciting learning experiences, embrace 21st Century Learning, and help students become college and career ready. Students will use this device in the classroom as a part of their instruction each day and take their designated Chromebook home each night to continue learning. This will allow the students 24/7 access to educational opportunities.
