What We Do
Thank you for visiting the Technology Department website for the Brick Township Public Schools.
The Technology Department is comprised of two divisions:
- IT Services: Core function is to procure, deploy and maintain district hardware, software and network resources
- IT Services provide the technological foundation to promote our primary strategies listed below.
- Instructional Technology: Focuses on how staff utilizes the technology resources available in and out of the classroom.
- Instructional Technology also provides all technology related professional development for all staff members in the district.
- Teachers and administrators use technology tools and strategies for continuous improvement of curriculum and instruction and to assess, gather, analyze, evaluate, and communicate information.
The goal of the Technology Department is to improve the quality of education for students and teachers by providing technology opportunities and resources for all students, faculty, and staff.

There are many challenges ahead for the district in the area of technology infrastructure. We are currently completing Phase 2 of a 3 phased project to refresh the technology infrastructure in the district. Upon completion of this project, Brick Township Public Schools will have a strong, stable and reliable platform from which students and staff will be able to integrate technology resources seamlessly throughout the curriculum and help all users work more efficiently and be more productive.
