Summary

Sean Boyer, the district's new IT director, reported progress on onboarding, establishment of a software committee (state requirement), vape detector integration with cameras, and server upgrades for intercom/bell systems.

The board heard an IT update from new IT Director Sean Boyer, who described onboarding progress and several operational priorities. Boyer said he was establishing a software, application and analytics committee (a stated state requirement) to inventory and review all district software subscriptions and to look for redundant or unused licenses.

Boyer reported the vape detector integration project was nearly complete and that Ednetics had completed on‑site testing on Feb. 28. He also said server upgrades tied to intercom and bell systems are finished, with a few remaining glitches being addressed. The IT packet lists the software committee members by role (including board member Mr. Kent and parent and administrator representatives).

Board materials show Boyer closing in on an asset inventory/help‑desk license renewal and continuing work on PowerSchool/SWIS integration. Trustees asked for follow-up as the committee reviews subscriptions and recommended staff present findings and potential cost savings to the board.
