In a significant move to enhance educational resources, the Santa Fe school board has approved the renewal of a technology tax amounting to $11 million. This funding is aimed at supporting the acquisition of devices, improving infrastructure, and maintaining essential staff necessary for the effective integration of technology in classrooms.
The decision to renew the tech tax is particularly noteworthy as it ensures that costs for taxpayers will remain flat, alleviating financial burdens while still advancing the district’s technological capabilities. The funds will be allocated to upgrade existing technology and provide students and teachers with the tools needed to thrive in a modern learning environment.
School officials expressed optimism that this renewal will not only enhance the educational experience but also prepare students for a future increasingly reliant on technology. The initiative reflects a commitment to prioritizing educational excellence and ensuring that all students have access to the resources they need to succeed.
