Statement

Date: March 7, 2023
Location: Albany, NY
Issues: Technology and Communication Education

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the approval of 61 Smart Schools Investment Plans focused on reimagining education in an evolving age and boosting school security. The approved plans, totaling $31.4 million, are part of the $2 billion Smart Schools Bond Act, a sweeping education technology program.

"Inefficient technology was a huge hurdle during the COVID-19 pandemic - perhaps nowhere more evident than in our schools - and our students' educational and social experiences suffered," Governor Hochul said. "This $31.4 million investment will allow students to access the technology to bring them the opportunity to learn at their own pace while providing interactive experiences both inside and outside of the classroom."
