This levy replaces one that expires at the end of 2010. This levy pays for educational technology tools, including computers, software, network infrastructure, document cameras, projectors, and other technology needs. It also pays for staff to maintain equipment and assist teachers and students with training and support.
The Technology Levy is the primary source of funds for electronic instructional tools and training. If the levy is approved, taxable property within the district would continue to be taxes to pay for school technology over the next four years, with the estimated rate ranging from $0.51 to $0.57 per year for each thousand dollars of assessed property value. This levy would generate funding in the amount of $2,750,000 for each year of the levy.
