Weekly Reflection January 22nd-26th
This week has proved interesting for many reasons. A week full of meetings, conference calls and troubleshooting not unlike most weeks. But what set this week apart may seem unimportant to many, but it denotes a significant change for our district.
First, our new Wireless Access Points are on the way to us. What this means is that we can outfit an entire campus with new access points increasing it to one access point in every room and rotate the current equipment from that site to another campus to bring them up to one access point per room.
This week I also had my first face to face meeting with the crew that will be building our WAN and bringing it from 1Gb/s up to 10Gb/s for roughly the same price as our current 1GB/s connection.
In addition to that our plan to increase from 500Mb/s internet connection to 5Gb/s connection is moving forward, but the best part is that it is going to be much cheaper than initially thought. In fact, it is dropping to nearly half of what our original proposal indicated.
The next big event for us is a shift in SIS. This week we had our first calls with the implementation team for our new SIS. This marks a significant step forward for us as the current provider seems to be built on an old pre Y2K Access database platform. If you have ever worked in Access you are probably having nightmares right now.
This week I also participated in one of our Strategic Plan Goal Area committee meetings and we completed our exit interview/survey district employees and made significant progress on our recruitment brochures and cards.
Next week is already shaping up to be just as eventful.
