As digital tools become essential for enhancing learning, school districts are investing more in devices, software, and infrastructure. However, this shift is straining budgets, prompting difficult decisions on funding allocations.

In response, some districts are revising their budget strategies to prioritize essential technologies while simultaneously preserving vital resources for students. The ongoing dialogue surrounding educational funding reflects broader trends in the state, emphasizing the need for sustainable solutions that support both technology integration and overall educational quality.
