Technology

Teton County School District #401 has put a strong emphasis on technology and its use in the classroom. The District has computer labs in all schools. Each building is connected with T-1 fiber providing a high speed network.

The Technology Committee acts on most of the policies and decisions made about technology within the District. The committee is also responsible for the District Technology Plan. The District superintendent, the Curriculum Director/Technology Coordinator, the Network Administrator, the building principals, a teacher representative from each building, a community member, and a student make up the committee. It meets the third Monday of every month.
