The Lansing School District will ensure that all students will be prepared technologically to meet the challenges demanded of them in their post-secondary experiences, and eventually in the workforce. The vision of Lansing School District is to provide all students equal access to information technology and computer resources as well as the opportunity to learn about current and emerging technologies so they can become productive citizens and life-long learners. We intend to achieve this vision by providing a variety of technology learning opportunities to support students' individual learning styles and academic preferences. Technologies should be of adequate quality and quantity, convenient to access and use, and consistent with our local economic and business needs. Our goal is to improve academic performance and teach new technology skills so students can be competitive in the job markets or prepared for technical and college/university education.
