At EMS are these imacs even being used? • • • Old, unreliable systems Does not support current software Outdated technology Technology Message from Superintendent, Mike Nelson • • • • • Dear Friends, For the past 18 months, our school district has engaged in conversations regarding our facility and technology needs. In the spring of 2007, Tim Madden and I met with every school staff and held community meetings at each of our schools determining facility and technology priorities at each site and across our district. Mobile computer labs Utilize latest software technology Support for graphics, CAD, and other industry programs Increase computer exposure for students Integration of curriculum and technology Promote student work and collaboration In the summer of 2007, our district with participation of community members selected Mahlum Architects to complete a Study of Survey of our school district during the 2007-08 school year, using information that we had gathered during school and community meetings. Also, during 200708 school year, our technology department participated in an independent, outside audit which included student, staff, parent and community surveys. New web-based control system can be accessed from any district PC The foundational and transparent work, occurring during the past 18 months, has given us the knowledge of collective voices across our staff and community about high need areas.
