CHICAGO — The wall-outlet crawl is a familiar dance that takes place in cafes and airport terminals: laptop computer and cell-phone users desperately hunting for a place to plug in their gadgets, rearranging furniture or settling uncomfortably on the floor to access an outlet.

If only there were a way to pull electricity out of the air, letting consumer electronics operate and recharge while untethered.

Scientists are now hot on the trail, trying to do for electricity what Wi-Fi did for the Internet. The idea is to perfect a transmitter that sends electricity coursing through a room to gadgets, eliminating the need for messy and inconvenient cords.

The Board of Education on Tuesday night received a report from the Division of Teaching and Learning on second-year implementation of the Strategic Plan, the New Haven community’s vision for the District. The Strategic Plan, crafted during the 2005-06 school year by more than 150 students, parents, teachers, classified employees, principals, administrators and community members, is designed to drive budgeting and decision-making through 2010-11. It was updated in November 2007.
