The Penn Manor Technology Department is a regional leader in open source software in education. With a fleet of over 3500 classroom Ubuntu laptops, the district's Linux deployment is possibly the largest school implementation in Pennsylvania. In January 2014, the Penn Manor High School launched the state's largest 1:1 laptop program running open source software exclusively. Charlie Reisinger, IT Director, discussed the open source 1:1 laptop program and student technology help desk in a 2014 TEDx Lancaster talk, "Enabling Students in a Digital Age." Penn Manor High School's student help desk program was the subject of a Red Hat Films documentary, "The Power of Open in Education". The laptop program and student help desk were featured in the 2016 book, "The Open Schoolhouse".
