Bentonville Public Schools is committed to providing students and teachers the technological resources necessary to enhance learning. To this end, all classrooms have access to their own local area network, the BPS wide area network, as well as the Internet. Leadership, support, and innovation in the use of information technologies is provided through a district-funded Technology Center.

Teachers can accumulate staff development credits that apply to their salary schedule by attending technology classes offered by the district. Students have regular access to networked computer labs in all buildings as well as to the classroom computer. Our goal is multiple points of access to technology in all classrooms. We believe our students must be proficient in the tools of their generation to be successful in the Information Age.
