Stevensville School District seeks reduced technology levy funding

Stevensville School District is attempting to pass a new technology levy this November after a previous attempt failed earlier this year. Technology Director William Hunt explained that the majority of the requested funds would support behind-the-scenes technology, including door access, security cameras, and financial systems for the business office. The district is seeking $150,000 per school district this time, totaling $300,000, which is less than the previous ask of $500,000 or $250,000.

The district stated that the levy is intended to enhance education while maintaining a focus on traditional learning methods. The funding is designated for essential operational technology required to run the school district, such as student information systems and security infrastructure.
