I think the chromebooks are excellent if they are going to use computers, and they basically do everywhere. They don't have to worry about os upgrades, or virus, they are very safe for browsing. They work great with minimal resources. If the district wants to allow it, they can allow linux apps in a controlled safe way, supporting bash command line or whatever else they want to support.
