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.
