IT project status

The District IT department is working on numerous technology projects to better serve students and employees. The 74 projects are prioritized, with the highest priority going to those that involve compliance issues or will have the most effect on students.
The top priority projects that are underway include:
  • Parking lot wi-fi to provide access for students who do not have wi-fi at home. This project is expected to be completed next month.
  • Self Service improvements, including more videos and communications to help students navigate Self Service.
  • Headsets for some employees have arrived and will be distributed soon. Laptop cameras were also ordered, but are on back order and not expected to arrive until November.
  • A pilot project to set up Mitel phone software on some employee computers so employees can answer their office phones and call students without using their personal cell phone.
  • Office 365 for students.
  • Credentials for student transcripts.
