Pioneer School District has opened a public comment period for the SMART Schools Investment Plan for improving infrastructure for education.
The Smart Schools Bond Act (SSBA) was passed in the 2014 – 15 state budget and approved by the voters in a statewide referendum on Nov. 4, 2014. The SSBA authorized the issuance of $2 billion of bonds to finance improved educational technology and infrastructure. The intent of the SSBA is to improve current learning opportunities for New York's K-12 students as well as future employment potential in the 21st century job market.
Pioneer was eligible for nearly $3.2 million that can be used for technology and security upgrades.
Citizens have 30 days to make a comment on the plan, which was presented at the Nov. 19 Pioneer Board of Education meeting.

A public hearing on the plan will also be held prior to the December 10 regular Board of Education meeting at Delevan Elementary.
