Staff reviews history of technology millage and timing for renewal
Summary
Staff presented a countywide technology enhancement-millage history (1997–2024), said it has generated roughly $153 million countywide to date, outlined how millage proceeds are allocated, and noted the next renewal will appear on ballots in spring 2026 with implications for staffing and device refresh schedules.
Staff (S1) provided a multi-decade overview of the technology enhancement millage, explaining it is a countywide five‑year millage used to fund classroom technology, some staffing and infrastructure projects, and device refresh cycles. "It's already for $153,000,000 has been generated in Monroe County through the enhanced knowledge for technology," Staff member (S1) said, and staff reviewed how the millage is allocated to per‑pupil refresh and county allocations.
Board members asked how many district positions are charged to the millage and what contingency plans exist if a renewal fails; staff said some staff and refresh cycles depend on renewal revenue and noted the ISD/county aggregation means strong votes in other districts can offset local shortfalls. Staff committed to return with staffing breakdowns and planning options tied to the next renewal timeline.
