We have an opportunity to support our students by voting for a continuation of the Tech Levy. This levy provides our Stevensville School with the funds to ensure academics are at their highest with high quality computer labs, software, WIFI, and equipment to teach robotics, digital art, programming and much more. Communication with parents and the community through web services is also critical.
Technology is the backbone of safety in the schools, where doors lock and unlock to keep danger out. Security cameras, vape sensors, and automated controls help keep our students safe and our buildings operating efficiently.
What is less well known is the levy support for school sports. Team sports can be viewed in real time and are also recorded in order for coaches and players to rewatch and analyze team performance. Lines on the game fields are painted using technology that ensures correct spacing. Several unique systems make it easy to manage sporting events such as game scheduling, collection of statistics, and communication with referees, coaches, players, and parents. Finally, the school website provides all of us in the community with information on upcoming events and game results.
It is important to realize that all of this would be jeopardized if we do not support the school by voting YES for the tech levy….so please for YES.
