The March 24, 2025, CCS Board Meeting in Colorado focused on significant advancements in the district's technology infrastructure and security measures. Key discussions highlighted the district's commitment to enhancing safety and efficiency through upgraded surveillance systems and device management.
During the meeting, officials reported the installation of 363 cameras across campuses, capable of recording 24/7. This system is complemented by 50 halo detection devices, which monitor air quality and particulate matter, including vape detection in middle and high schools. The district maintains a robust data storage system with eight servers, capable of retaining video evidence for a minimum of 14 days, and is set to add a ninth server to accommodate new cameras in upcoming construction projects.
The meeting also addressed the transition to Windows 11, as the district has successfully upgraded all devices from Windows 10, which is no longer supported. This upgrade is part of a broader strategy to ensure that over 6,000 Chromebooks and other devices remain functional and secure. The district is actively managing device repairs, with 275 devices repaired this year out of a fleet of over 6,000.
In addition to hardware upgrades, the district has implemented interactive boards in every classroom to enhance student engagement. Training for staff on effective use of these boards is ongoing, with dedicated support provided by technology specialists.
The meeting concluded with a review of the district's IT support performance, noting over 2,600 support tickets processed this school year, with a high rate of resolution. The district's proactive approach to technology management and security reflects its commitment to providing a safe and effective learning environment for students and staff.
