Technology staff gave a back‑office presentation on network reliability, device refreshes and administration systems. The team reported a rapid migration to cloud services, a near‑complete removal of legacy desktop PCs (down to 36), and a device refresh for staff; the district said it now manages roughly 3,900 Chrome‑based devices.
IT staff highlighted expanded outdoor Wi‑Fi for athletic fields and parking areas and said the network was approaching a 'five nines' (99.999%) reliability target because of generator‑backed systems and refreshed access points. The presenter also described an improved process linking the HR system to finance and user provisioning: activating or disabling an employee in HR now propagates account changes automatically.
The presentation noted continuing work: upgrading the main firewall and maintaining SOC2 and NIST compliance, plus ongoing vendor and data‑privacy contract work to ensure third parties meet district privacy terms. The board asked some technical questions about mounting access points and coverage; presenters explained access points are line‑of‑sight mounted for field coverage and that the team had completed field surveys.
No separate vote was taken on technology items; the budget implications were included in the district's broader 2026–27 budget discussion.
