The Monroe County Intermediate School District once again will ask voters to renew its long-supported technology millage used toward keeping the county's public school districts competitive in its access to digital resources.
Residents countywide will be asked to approve or nix the regional enhancement millage renewal, which has earned the community's support for more than 20 years, to levy .9866 mills for the next five years during the May 4 election.
The request comes at a time when technology devices, many of which have been funded from past millage revenue, are critical for students learning virtually or for classrooms incorporating online learning components amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Supt. Stephen McNew of the Monroe County Intermediate School District.
