PROP 2 TECHNOLOGY

All students will benefit from the passage of proposition 2. Franklin Pierce Schools believe that all students, regardless of their age, ability, or interest should have access to tools that help them thrive. The technology levy allows each student to access their learning through an assigned device, at school, in the classroom or their home. In addition to students, Proposition 2 equips staff with important tools to teach, to connect and to inspire learners. Finally, the technology levy supports families through broadband access, IT support, and communication tools.

Proposition 2 funds all of the essential ingredients for students to stay connected with their learning:

• a laptop for each student

• instructional classroom technology

• network and hardware infrastructure

• communication and learning software

• staff to support students, staff and families

• cybersecurity tools

• data and storage solutions

• building safety and security equipment

Whether students are preparing for college, competing for 21^st century jobs or trying to access their learning remotely during a global pandemic, our students need access to technology.

Proposition 2 allows all students to access the proper tools for learning, not just those that can afford it. In addition to accessing knowledge, technology provides an avenue for students to access career skills required in today's job market.
