It was a BOO-last!

REMINDER! Digital equity is essential for educational equity. To serve our students, families, and educators, it is imperative that we have, and maintain, an updated, accurate, and complete picture of the state of digital equity for each individual student. We have been collecting this data for the past two school years using an online survey as well as hard-copy surveys that were sent home with students. To ensure that our data is up-to-date, the District, in accordance with New York State requirements, will be administering its annual survey through the month of October. The results of the survey are used on an ongoing basis throughout the year to help identify specific needs and target resources and funding opportunities when they become available.
