Summary
The district’s director of computer systems reported the summer deployment of thousands of devices, a new domain and roughly 600 new surveillance cameras; he described staffing changes and credited the team for avoiding major service disruptions.
The School Town of Munster’s director of computer systems reported extensive summer technology work, including deployment of thousands of new devices, implementation of a new domain and the installation of hundreds of surveillance cameras.
Director of computer systems Mr. Pajdol said the district prepared and deployed roughly 4,500 new devices and installed about 600 new surveillance cameras across the district. He described a larger technology modernization project and said staff re-engineered systems after the abrupt departure of a database employee, with district team members stepping in to maintain continuity.
Pajdol praised his team and said their work prevented what he characterized as a potential disaster during the transition to the new domain. He also referenced an estimated cost saving figure during the presentation, saying “we probably saved roughly $373,180,000,” then immediately restating an estimate of “dollars 370,000 to 380,000 so far.” The transcript records both statements; the district did not provide supporting documentation in the meeting.
Staffing updates included mention of internal team members who led the work. No formal action or vote accompanied the report.
