The Monroe County School District has secured a bright future for its students with the approval of a renewed school technology millage, ensuring continued support for vital technology upgrades and resources across the district's schools!

The millage renewal, which will run through 2031, demonstrates strong community support for investing in education technology. The funds generated by the millage are earmarked for a range of technology-related expenses, including but not limited to: hardware purchases (computers, tablets, interactive whiteboards), software licenses, internet infrastructure improvements, and professional development for teachers in utilizing technology effectively in the classroom.

The Monroe County School District has stated that this renewed millage is crucial for maintaining a competitive educational environment for students. With rapidly evolving technology, the district aims to equip students with the skills and tools necessary to succeed in the 21st century workforce. The previous millage, which expired in 2021, has been instrumental in increasing student access to technology and improving academic outcomes. School officials anticipate that the renewed millage will allow them to implement new initiatives, such as 1:1 device programs and virtual reality labs in the coming years.
