'Recycled' School PCs Found In Africa

School District, City Controller Investigating

PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia School District wants to know how its computer equipment ended up in Africa.

A recent PBS Frontline documentary showed a printer with a sticker labeling it property of the Philadelphia School District at a West African landfill.

The district said it paid a recycler to remove the printer. That recycler says it would be impossible for him to know what happened.

The district and the city controller are investigating.
