Springfield Public Schools students have access to a free and supervised environment to complete online school assignments thanks to Willamalane Park and Recreation District.
Willamalane's Student Technology Lab in the main lobby of Bob Keefer Center (250 S. 32nd St.) features several laptops equipped with the Microsoft Office suite and the SPS online portal. The Student Technology Lab is available during regular business hours; students simply show their SPS student ID to front desk staff to access the computers for free.
The project was funded through a grant from the Department of Education with support from former Congressman Peter DeFazio and Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden.
