Need & Impact

Why is Technology Funding Needed?

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.  

If passed, the tech levy will provide the tools and support students need to prepare for a future that requires digital skills. It also addresses the urgent need to support students and teachers with distance learning during the pandemic.

When we are able to transition to hybrid learning, students will be engaged in distance learning more than half the time. We anticipate a significant number of students will be engaged exclusively in online learning for the 2020-21 school year.

Upgrading our district’s technology and digital literacy programs will ensure students are ready for their next step, whether that's college, technical certification or the workforce. 

Improving cybersecurity is also a priority—to protect student and staff data and district taxpayer funds from digital threats. 

Technology can help students achieve success in school and during disruptions that require distance learningand long after graduation.

What Will the Technology Levy Fund?

All of these levy items support staff and students in both distance learning and in-person learning. Find out more about each proposed item.
