Summary
The district IT team described steps to fix recent streaming problems, including purchasing a 5G router and tripod-mounted antenna, consulting contractor Joe Millage (Thunder Country/MCG), and planning tests across multiple events, with a possible 4K camera upgrade for the home gym.
District technology staff reported measures to improve the district's live-streaming of events after recent interruptions.
IT staff said they purchased a 5G router and a tripod-mounted antenna to achieve better signal when streaming from away venues, and they are pursuing hardwired network connections at host schools when available. The district consulted with contractor Joe Millage of Thunder Country and MCG about options and said the January event schedule (with multiple sports and activities) will provide a robust test period.
IT staff invited feedback from board members and said additional options remain in reserve if the current measures do not resolve problems. Staff also noted a potential camera upgrade to 4K for the main basketball gym to improve home broadcast quality.
Board members commended the IT staff for their work and the board thanked them for continuing to improve streaming for the community.
