Board Update 5.28.18
May 21-25 Summary
This past week was crazy busy! First it was the last week of school in Mid-Del, and second, we had three high school graduations in four days. I was able to work Wednesday in Washington. I spent my day evaluating the master schedule and planning for summer maintenance projects with Mr. Brewer.
As of now, the elementary schedule has a solid draft that Pam Hewett is entering into the MASS system. Pam and I are reviewing secondary student enrollment numbers & course requests to develop a draft schedule for both middle and high school. This school year the software company we utilize for student records is upgrading its software to a web-based platform. This platform will allow for increased collaboration between our new principals and counselor as we build the schedule sharing staff to meet the needs of our secondary students.
I cannot thank Mr. Brewer enough for his attention to summer projects. He has arranged for summer mowing, bus maintenance, painting, and the traditional school summer cleaning. One project I wish to highlight is our IT summer project. On Wednesday, I met with our IT Service Provider. We discussed district networking and reviewed options for improving internet access for the 2018-2019 year. The meeting was an initial conversation that I hope will lead us to a long-range plan for improving access for all and prepare us for the future. As a first step, this summer our provider will be upgrading our internal switches and cables. Doing this will allow us to utilize our existing network at a higher capacity.
