Voters in Stillwater, Minn., on Tuesday voted out three school-board incumbents who had voted for a deal to give Apple iBook computers to junior-high students.
Of four incumbents, the only one who won re-election had voted against the deal. Two of the winners were write-in candidates who ran for office in opposition to the deal.
When the deal was announced, many district residents were angry that they had not been consulted about the deal, which will cost the district about $2 million. Opponents also question whether the laptops would significantly improve student achievement.
School board officials said Apple demanded an immediate decision or else Apple would go to another school.

Ahhh.. the world of local politics. The people thought it cost too much, and voted accordingly. Doesn't seem like there's much else to the issue.
