Summary

IT staff reported the urgent server migration to a new platform was completed on nights and weekends to leave an unsupported platform; the district firewall project and virtual-server upgrades remain scheduled for winter break.

Ross Eberle, the district IT contact, said the server migration originally scheduled for winter break was completed on nights and weekends because of the urgency to move off an unsupported platform. He reported all currently used servers have been migrated and older servers will be repurposed as part of the server lifecycle process.

Eberle told the board that the district firewall project and upgrades to virtual servers were still on track for winter break and that IT staff continue to address students discovering proxy sites during school days, noting that holiday periods often see increased attempts to circumvent filters. The transcript records these technical updates but does not include implementation timelines beyond the winter-break reference or contract information for vendors.
