The District's core information system combines software elements that are supplied by TIES, purchased from commercial vendors, and developed locally. During the 1999-2000 school year, the District will implement a new student data management system. The new system will make data available to students and parents in a secure manner via the Internet. In addition, the District will continue improve its business systems and develop a multimedia portfolio system that will store the information required by the State's Graduation Rule. Each year, the District explores the educational potential of emerging technologies.
Referendums represent taxes approved by voters.
The capital levy represents a tax imposed with State authority. This budget is sufficient to maintain but not expand the District's current inventory and infrastructure. In keeping with the Strategic Plan, the District is investigating alternative ways to fund technology. The District is participating in the State-Wide Funding grant application program. In addition, the District will attempt to develop a set of multimedia training and curriculum materials that can be sold to other organizations.
