The Hillsboro School District established a Technology Study Team in June 2012 to evaluate our current use of technology and create a plan for the future. Goals of the team are to ensure we have the infrastructure, tools, professional development, implementation plans, and communication channels in place to maximize both our efficiency as a system and our ability to enhance student achievement through the use of technology.
