The board's Technology & Communications Committee reported a plan to replace eight legacy POTS lines that support the LENS (lockdown notification system) with POTS-over-LTE service under a 36-month contract. The committee presented a cost summary: monthly service of $651.85 and a one-time installation cost of $2,093; the contract also includes eFax service. Committee members said the upgrade will modernize infrastructure away from traditional copper lines to preserve reliable lockdown notifications.
Committee members also reported the district completed UPS (uninterruptible power supply) installations at all schools between Dec. 1 and Dec. 3 with the exception of Governor Livingston High School; work there is scheduled to finish before the holiday break. During follow-up questions, a board member asked about UPS battery run-time and was told backup duration is about 30 minutes.
