Superintendent outlines IT fixes, device rotation and need for three-year technology plan
Summary
Superintendent Lance Harrison reported on a recent server crash, network and security upgrades, a new ticketing system and plans for a three-year technology replacement schedule. Trustees pressed for cost estimates and clearer funding plans.
Superintendent Lance Harrison updated trustees on district technology work, including a server crash that occurred before school started and subsequent installation of new servers, firewall updates and network segmentation.
Harrison detailed equipment upgrades (projectors, sound systems and classroom devices), junior high internet fixes and the rollout of a new ticketing system to track IT issues. He said the district plans device rotation so older student devices can be repurposed for lower grades and is reviewing teacher-device needs.
Board member Chris Jones questioned assumptions about device lifespan and urged the district to produce a detailed three-year technology plan with costs and identified funding sources such as E-rate. Trustees discussed doing a comprehensive network and security refresh all at once for cost efficiency.
