 * Minutes from Secondary Coaches Meeting Jan. 23**

Attendees: Mason Gregg, Ben Nuebel, Curt Christensen, Heidi Dudley, La Donna Lenz, Linda Gray, Randy Stall, Mike Porter

Last meeting of the year is May 8, site TBD, and it is a dinner meeting with Dan providing the food.
 * 1) **Will Richardson Update:** He will be presenting at the TIE Conference for 2 or 3 sessions. He will be arriving late and leaving early, so it may not work out to get him to present to LPS.
 * 2) **TIE Conference Update:** The dates for TIE are June 19 – 22. Dan would like as many presenters from LPS as possible. He has 20 full scholarships and 40 half scholarships for LPS folks wanting to attend.
 * 3) **Student Email Accounts:** Middle school students (and some elementary students) are required to provide an email address to teachers for school projects. Mason asked about setting up a LPS domain through Google (or something similar) that LPS students could use for their entire time in LPS. Boni says she gets much less spam at her Gmail address than her other email accounts.
 * 4) **Long Term Direction of District:** Mike shared some of the thoughts that Dan has shared with the district ITS group. Eventually Dan would like to see open wireless networks in all LPS schools. Dan would like to see a ratio of 1:1 for students and computers at the high school level. They are looking viability of Thin Client. Dan is seeking input on computer literacy.
 * 5) **ETAC –** Diane Frank from HHS is on the ETAC and will be sending the coaches minute notes for comments, since there are very few representatives on the committee with any technical/school background.
 * 6) **Tech Resources:** Boni shared that Arapahoe County Libraries have many databases available for student use. To access the databases, one must have a library card. Applications for a library card can be done on line and a school can apply for a generic card number to be used by everyone at a particular school.
 * 7) **United Streaming:** The district has ordered a server for United Streaming. The resolution will be improved and it will also help with bandwidth issues. It should be ready to use in approximately one month.
 * 8) **Meeting Dates:** Next meeting is February 6 at LHS.
