The 21 schools that make up the PTO Council unanimously passed a resolution in the spring to pursue sustainable funding for technology access devices.

Newton PTOs have been almost exclusively funding the purchase of technology access devices ever since they were introduced to the classroom.  Now, in 2013, as the role of technology in our world has steadily expanded for 30 years, we have reached the point where PTO funding for these devices is no longer feasible.

As the budget unfolds, the PTO Council sincerely hopes to see a realistic line item in the budget for sustainable funding of technology access devices.
