The Smart Schools Bond Act, approved by New York State voters in 2014, authorized the issuance of $2 billion of general obligation bonds to finance improved educational technology and infrastructure to improve learning and opportunity for students throughout the State.
This act aims to equip students with 21st-century learning tools and improve educational opportunities for all students. Funding is allocated to school districts based on their share of foundation aid.
Districts must develop and receive approval for Smart Schools Investment Plans before utilizing the funds. Below is information regarding our plan.
