Smart Schools Bond Act Investment Plan
Smart Schools Bond Act Investment Plan
In January 2014, then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo called for New York State to invest $2 billion in its schools through the Smart Schools Bond Act. The act was meant to finance for school districts educational technology and infrastructure to improve learning and opportunities for students throughout the state.
Voters approved the Smart School Bond Act in November 2014 and as a result, the Red Hook Central School District was allocated to receive $1,341,076.
The district is spending that sum through three project phases; the first two financed the rollout of the 1:1 MacBook initiative for grades 6-12 and enabled the purchase of classroom technology – flat panel displays in all instructional spaces and large display solutions in each school’s cafeteria/cafetorium.
The third and final phase, approved in summer 2025, included the purchase of 70 iPads with keyboard cases for classroom instructional use at Mill Road Elementary.

Phase 1 of the district’s application of the Smart Schools Bond Act included $320,921 in classroom technology – flat panel displays in all instructional spaces; and large display solutions in each school’s cafeteria/cafetorium – which was paid in March 2025.
