Smart Schools Investment Plan

The Smart Schools Bond Act (SSBA) was approved by New York State voters in 2014 and authorized the issuance of $2 billion of general obligation bonds to finance improved educational technology and infrastructure to improve learning and opportunity for students throughout the State. The SSBA allocation for Bethlehem Central School District is $2,039,178.

The SSBA requires that a district submits a Smart Schools Investment Plan before any funds may be made available for the program.
