Technology Levy | November 3, 2020
In November 2020, Highline voters approved a two-year, $32.5-million technology levy by 73.6 percent of the vote.
All students need access to technology to learn and be prepared for today's careers.
The emergency transition to distance learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated an urgent need for technology funding—for devices, connection, security, support and training.
Tech levy funds will provide the tools and support students need to prepare for today's careers. It also addresses the urgent need to support students and teachers with distance learning during the pandemic.
The Levy Will Fund:
- New devices
- Internet connections
- Upgraded cybersecurity
- Digital support and training for teachers and students in Highline
- Classroom technology
