Pioneer Day School, a special-needs school in Ocean Beach, was robbed over the weekend of Jan. 29, and the thieves took the most important things inside. They stole more than a dozen iPads customized for each student’s particular needs.
On Feb. 1, however, there was some great news. A local real estate developer heard about the robbery, contacted a local television station and said he wanted to donate money to replace the machines.
Along with replacing the specialized computers, officials also have to replace two doors and install a new security system.
Meanwhile, no love is lost between school officials and the robbers.
“This is like removing a section of [a student’s] brain, in a sense,” said Jim Leiner, Pioneer founder. — KUSI-TV
