Public Hearing for Phase 3 of Smart Schools Investment Plan Slated for January 23

Preliminary Smart Schools Investment Plan - Phase 3
November 2022

To date we have committed $677,009 of the $813,516 allotted to our district through the Smart Schools
Bond Act. Phase 1 (2016) consisted of technology infrastructure and building security upgrades totaling
$316,650. Phase 2 (2017) involved the purchase of new computers, chromebooks and projectors to
support our students and staff, totaling $360,359.
A total of $136,507 remains for Phase 3.

Phase 3 purchasing under this grant will support the needs identified by the District related to installing
high-speed broadband or enhancing wireless connectivity. Phase 3 will also support learning technology
equipment. This equipment includes but is not limited to: interactive whiteboards, chromebooks,
laptops, desktops, projectors and other technology items that enhance teaching and learning.
Upon acceptance by the Board of Education, the Smart Schools Bond Act requires the District to publish
the plan making it available to the community for a 30 day period. Community comments and
suggestions are welcome and should be directed to Jennifer Raux, Director of Instructional Technology.

At the close of the comment period, after review of any correspondence, the plan will be updated and
re-submitted to the Board for final approval.

Please forward written comments or suggestions to:
