Instructional Technology

The Broadalbin-Perth CSD Technology Department supports both our schools and administrative offices by ensuring technology is maintained and upgraded. We believe that technology should align with our educational vision, promoting an environment of equitable access and security. This environment supports diverse learning experiences that enable students to evaluate and reflect on their own educational progress. We also offer training and continuous support to address the needs of students and staff. Our commitment is to equip our students, staff, and community with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in an interconnected global environment.
