 * 1) **Summer Computer Order Update:** Dan reported that the district will be ordering approximately 250 computers this summer. The district should be able to continue ordering around the same amount of machines for several years. Dan will have the number of machines per school by May 1.
 * 2) **Wireless Update:** Dan reported that the district has $28,000.00 from the LPS Foundation plus $120,000.00 in one time only funding for access points. The district should be able to afford a guest access filter to use with the wireless network. The current filter agreement ends this summer. The wireless network should be ready to go this Fall and will have A, B and G technology. Each building will decide when and how to implement it. Dan is working on a Board Policy for student owned technology.
 * 3) **Student owned computers at school: Computer Coaches are not expected to support student laptops that are not connecting via the wireless network**
 * 4) **Infinite Campus:** AHS was unhappy because the latest update to version 2007.2.2 broke all the Test Sites which adversely affected their Career Day activities. Karl pointed out the every time there is an Infinite Campus update, things get broken and this is very annoying. Dan explained that ITS department meets with our IC rep monthly to discuss problems. Infinite Campus was supposed to update us to Version 2007.2.1 which DPS has been using for some time, however, IC updated us to Version 2007.2.2 which has not been tested like the previous version.
 * 5) **District Technology Vision:** Dan has a draft document that he will put out next week for review and comment.
 * 6) **ITS Personnel Changes:** Bill Tucker is retiring and his position has been posted. Boni Hamilton has resigned to return to Lenski. Dan is looking at the position description and may not fill the position immediately. All coaches agreed that having someone with an instructional background in the position has been helpful and we don’t want to lose the position.
 * 7) **Accessing LPS Servers remotely:** Dan says it is on the horizon. Probably via a secure web site, not a VPN.
 * 8) **Curriculum Update:** There are 3 major sources for curriculum: Textbooks which must be approved by the BOE, Supplemental Material, i.e., workbooks which are not approved by the BOE, and Incidental Materials which includes electronic sources and is not currently approved by the BOE. Dan is developing a policy for this.
 * 9) **Next Meeting:** Last meeting of the year is May 8, site TBD, and it is a dinner meeting with Dan providing the food.
