IT director proposes 'Connected Seniors' program and reports security fixes
Summary
IT Director Rusty Raymond reported work to resolve bugs in the district's new security system, ordered Chromebooks for the Family Academy, and proposed a 'Connected Seniors' program to pair students with local seniors for digital-skills tutoring; the program needs at least 10 senior participants and a suitable space.
IT Director Rusty Raymond told the board he is troubleshooting bugs in the recently installed security system and that more Chromebooks have been ordered for the Family Academy. He also described a proposed Connected Seniors program, modeled on a Gold Beach initiative, that would pair students with senior citizens to teach social media and basic computer skills; the program would require a space and at least 10 senior participants for one-on-one sessions.
Raymond presented the proposal as a community-technology outreach opportunity and asked the board to consider potential locations. The minutes record the program as an item for follow-up rather than an action the board formally approved during the meeting.
