4. General
 * Cloverlea is buying netbooks rather than new desktops - asking teachers what you need for your class.
 * Longburn has been trialling tablets - better in the juniors than the seniors - looking into BYOD.
 * Invoices have been sent off to pay each school, ledgers will be looked at for Milestone Report
 * Ultra-Fast Broadband: Is being rolled out to schools but at the moment it isn't cheap. The Ministry is negotiating. ISP's are trying to organise sponsorship.
