Students 21st century college and career preparation is at the heart of the Education Technology Note (ETN) mail-in ballot, with nearly half of funding dedicated to providing computer and technology access for all SFPS learners.
The ETN renews $11 million per year, for the next 5 years, in funding for the Santa Fe Public Schools (SFPS) and Santa Fe County’s charter schools:
- 45% funds high-quality learning devices for all students
- 17% provides teachers with cutting-edge professional development and training
- 15% refreshes technology so that it’s the best it can be
- 13 percent ensures that our digital learning coaches, who are technology specialists, integrate technology in all schools
- 10% funds technical support
The best gauge of the ETN’s success is our students: 86 percent of SFPS students, whose opinion is continuously sought, say that they are better prepared for college and careers because of access to technology at school. We commit to solid stewardship and transparency in the use of your tax dollars, and we thank you in advance for your participation in this critical election.
