Technology team reports near‑term testing prep and camera upgrades, notes blind spots
Summary
Technology staff said roughly 93% of devices have required testing software installed, are scheduling a stadium camera swap, and completed a one‑for‑one transfer to a Verkada camera system with some blind spots under review and proposals to consider fisheye cameras for broader coverage.
The district’s technology director updated the board on readiness for upcoming state testing, camera maintenance and a recent systems migration.
The director reported the district needs almost 95% of devices ready for state testing and was at about 93%: "We have to make sure almost 95% of all of our devices have the software installed... we're at a solid 93% at that." He said staff will clean and service mobile devices and rolling carts during spring break and address missing keys or hardware swaps before testing.
On school safety and cameras, the director described a full, like‑for‑one transfer to a Verkada internet‑based system. He said the migration revealed some blind spots and that one option under consideration is replacing standard ~110‑degree cameras with fisheye lenses to expand coverage. The board discussed perimeter coverage challenges and the director agreed to consult the IT director about camera placements and cost implications.
No procurement vote occurred; the director framed the matters as ongoing evaluation and asked for direction if the board wanted prioritized coverage improvements.
