The Booker T. Washington school on 107th street won a grant for $35,000 for laptop carts.

Council member Mark Levine announced the winners of participatory budgeting in his council district, which includes a section of the Upper West Side, mostly above 96th street. Nearly 1,900 people voted on the citizen-proposed projects. We listed the winners from Helen Rosenthal’s, mostly below 96th, here.

These were the top vote-getters in Levine’s district:

Riverstone Senior Center- $210,000

Grounds renovation outside the entrance would be designed to budget. Priorities such as creating attractive seating areas and enclosing the dumpster would be coordinated with RA leadership.

Restoration to the exterior of the building and water damage within the building. Replacement of the inoperable boiler, the installation of new windows and a workable HVAC system are needed.

I’m all for funding school needs, but is the same government official who spent $600 for a toilet seat in the ’80s now purchasing carts that store and charge laptop computers? $35k for ONE?

The laptop cart comes with enough laptops for an entire class of 30 or so students – so the price is reasonable.
