IT Challenges– Networks
• District and site networks were never designed for full
wireless coverage.
• Wireless access support has grown from 400 devices to
over 2100 devices in less than 4 years on a mix of old
and new access points.
• Major DHS, Roosevelt, Sierra Vista Wireless Projects
during the Spring/Summer of 2014-15. The last major
wireless project was 2004 and had only limited access.
• Network planning, management and maintenance is
now a continuous and growing demand on IT services.
IT Challenges – Expanding Services
• All phones are now Voice Over IP (VOIP)
digital, networked phones.
• Video surveillance has expanded from four
cameras at DHS to over two dozen cameras
spreads across three separate school sites.
• These new services require unique and
specialized support services.
IT Challenges – Expanding Classroom
Support
• Online resources and tools for instruction are
now the norm.
• Common Core Standards have internet research
skills and technology use embedded throughout,
beginning in Kindergarten.
• Google Apps use is expanding rapidly at all grade
levels. This requires reliable & robust networks.
• The management of Google staff/student
accounts, app deployment and security.
IT Challenges – Expanding Classroom
Support
• New tools like 3D printers and laser etchers are
entering our Engineering Pathway classrooms
requiring skilled setup and support.
• Online blended classes and digital textbook use is
expanding at both High Schools. This requires
reliable & robust networks.
• Classroom instruction is beginning to include the
use of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) for
students. Adding to the growing security
demands on our networks.
IT Challenges – Maintenance of effort
• Plan, manage and monitor an expanding network.
• Ensure networks are secure and safe for student and
staff use.
• Perform maintenance on the growing inventory of
network equipment.
• Work orders to repair and maintain staff and student
equipment (average of 200 work orders a month).
• Install new equipment.
• Manage VOIP Phones – one in every classroom.
• Support new technologies as they develop.
