Why is a capital projects levy for technology needed?
Bloomington Public Schools currently does not have dedicated technology funds. Districts such as Eden Prairie and Minnetonka provide an additional $585 and $578 per student respectively in technology dedicated funds that has made them national leaders for use of classroom technology as an accelerator of learning. The proposed $3 million capital projects levy will significantly enrich classroom instruction, and ensure long-term stability for technology planning and dedicated funding to maintain and replace classroom equipment.
