Families are attracted to Burlington for its quality of life and excellent school system. Enrollment in Burlington schools continues to increase. Over the the last year, enrollment has grown 3%, in contrast to the decline in student population statewide.
Our students need technology skills for future success in a global, technology-rich workforce.
Through a competitive process, BHS was recently awarded a grant from the Nellie Mae Foundation.
A portion of the grant will pay for 50% of the 1-1 technology initiative, including resources to make BHS a wireless school.
This initiative provides an opportunity for all students to access technology required in the modern world.
The video http://www.champlaininitiative.com/technology-stories/ provides examples of how technology is being integrated into Burlington classrooms.
