Over the course of the levy, there will be plenty of opportunities to join short term focus groups to provide input for the levy implementation and curriculum integration. Information about these groups will be posted on this website and be sent to staff via district e-mail.

These teams meet for a limited amount of time to provide input to the Technology Advisory Committee (TAC), as they refine the Levy plan. We seek input of a wide variety of staff that will benefit from these plans. All meeting notes will be posted on the TAC website along with any opportunities to join on-line forums.

School Involvement
Each school is asked to form a School Levy Implementation Team. This team will plan for the levy implementation for their site. Teams will help determine the professional development for their site as well as how to best utilize the Building Based Allocations from the levy. This is a very important area for teacher involvement!
