Emergency purchase ensures every Paterson student will have a Chromebook for school
Emergency shipments of more than 9,000 Chromebooks over the past days will allow the Paterson school district to provide every student with an electronic device for remote learning when the academic year starts next week, officials announced.
Paterson had faced a shortage of thousands of devices after the China-based vendor that was supposed to provide the Chromebooks became entangled in trade sanctions earlier this year that stalled production.
But other companies learned of Paterson’s crisis through news stories and offered to sell the district what it needed, officials said. Trox, an education technology firm with New Jersey offices, delivered about 4,600 Chromebooks on Friday, another 200 on Saturday and 4,800 on Sunday, district officials said.
District employees are now distributing the Chromebooks to Paterson’s schools, officials said. Paterson has 29,000 students and about 50 schools. The shortage involved the city’s elementary schools.
During the spring, after schools shut down for the health crisis, Paterson used hard-copy handouts for elementary school class assignments, creating a massive backlog of paper that had to be collected, sorted and delivered. Education advocates bemoaned the situation, saying it symbolized the digital divide plaguing districts like Paterson.
“I could not be happier to announce to our students and their families that they will have the best remote learning experience possible now that we have enough Chromebooks for all of our students,” said Superintendent Eileen Shafer.
The district planned to use $3.5 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds to pay for the new Chromebooks. Officials have not announced whether the cost changed after the switch in vendors.

The German invasion began on 1 September 1939, one week after the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact between Germany and the Soviet Union, and one day after the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union had approved the pact. The Soviets invaded Poland on 17 September. The campaign ended on 6 October with Germany and the Soviet Union dividing and annexing the whole of Poland under the terms of the German–Soviet Frontier Treaty.
Poland never surrendered. Under German occupation, there was continued resistance by forces such as the Armia Krajowa, Henryk Dobrzański's guerillas, and the Leśni ("forest partisans").
