Parents and Community Members,

Our Capital Levy supports student learning by providing up-to-date tools in every classroom. Edmonds School District has a comprehensive plan for implementing the Instructional Technology Levy to support education.

The 2004 technology portion of the Levy includes:

Home - School Connection: Easy tool for creating classroom websites and a K-12 student reporting system - electronic grade book and reporting system with parent access.
Home - School Connection: Easy classroom websites to keep parents and students informed of classroom activities	On-going
Basic classroom teaching equipment - 100% of the classrooms received a projector, document presenter, and computer. Locks, cords and cables are included.
Student tech tools - this current Levy includes funding for up to 40% of our classrooms to get grade or content specific tools and software.
School-wide tools -server for student work, wireless mobile lab, online databases and resources, library circulation station, printers.
Network upgrade - this includes not only the network between the school and the district, but also whatever is needed to make wireless technology work within every school.
Staff development and tech support.	On-going

 

The purpose of classroom technology is to improve student learning in the content areas. All tech tools have been carefully selected to this end. We have made great gains with our 2004 levy, allowing our students to have more timely access to important resources and tools. We will be asking our voters to continue this work by renewing our levy in 2008.
