The Smart Schools Bond Act was passed in 2014 by a statewide referendum. The Smart Schools Bond Act (SSBA) supports educational technology and infrastructure to improve teaching and learning. It focuses on four main areas of funds: construct or modernize educational facilities for pre-kindergarteners, install high-speed broadband or wireless, install high-tech security features and acquire technology equipment.

All District plans approved by the school board and submitted to the New York State Education Department must meet the required elements including demonstrating students’ needs, minimal speed requirements for internet connectivity, professional development, technical support, and sustainability. As part of the process, districts are required to submit a District Instructional Technology Plan survey in compliance with the Education Law and Commissioner’s Regulation. The Instructional Technology Plan survey outlines the current and future plans of the district as it relates to infrastructure, devices, staffing, and professional development to improve teaching
and learning. The Instructional Technology plan was approved by New York State Education Department on June 14, 2022.
