Summary
IT director Mike Nye described the district's tech footprint—about 8,000 users and 10,000 devices across 15 sites—and Superintendent Cline said staff will focus on ParentSquare, website, social, and YouTube to improve parent engagement.
Mike Nye, the district technology lead, told the Redmond School District board that the technology department supports approximately 8,000 users and manages about 10,000 devices refreshed on a four-year cycle across 15 locations. Speaking during the Sept. 11 work session, Nye said the team's priorities are safety and security, equitable access, timely personal support, professional learning and innovation, and that they keep "instruction as the number one priority." He added that the team is "small, but mighty."
Superintendent Cline described a communications strategy focused on improving how parents feel about being informed, naming ParentSquare as a primary tool and saying the district will continue to update and boost websites, social media presence and YouTube videos to increase audience engagement. The board heard the operational details as background; no formal action was taken on technology or communications during the work session.
