This is a huge step in the right direction. Microsoft Office and Windows are a huge unnecessary and practically unmaintainable approach. That being said, public education would benefit even more from using a consistent, maintainable, and free Linux distribution. Public schools but a lot of worthless effort into providing computers for students that are (attempt to be) secure and usable.

This has been the case for over a decade, but administrations have assumed that since everyone uses Windows, that they would be swimming upstream to do otherwise.
