Final Thoughts… • How do we stay ahead of the technology revolution • How do we stay up with the pace of change in technology • How do Superintendents manage the every changing world of technology, a world they are often not an expert with
Collaboration Committee Goal: Share collaborative work happening around the county in hopes it leads to additional resource sharing
Today’s Shared Service Example: • Technology Consortium July 2009 – three districts started (Comstock Park, Kent City, Sparta) July 2014 – added Cedar Springs • Total student count is 9,700 students
Model Specifics • All technology services done collaboratively with the ISD • Advisory Board made up of local district Superintendent and Business Manager, along with key ISD staff, make decisions and set direction • Cost is $43 per pupil
7 goals – 7 years • #2 Complete a world class Data Center that will meet industry standards & help Kent ISD become a regional technology provider for customers in the Great Lakes Region. • We delivered: • For the state of Michigan, we lead a consortium of 13 ISDs in the TRIG Grant • We lead a consortium of 7 ISDs with the Data Warehouse • We led a Wide Area Network consortium for our districts, doubling (or more) bandwidth at tremendous cost savings
Thoughts Moving Forward • Technology security – district technology systems are being compromised (hacked), how can we ensure our systems are safe • Technology security audit – is it time for a county-wide technology audit • Technology costs – trending higher than other district costs, including classroom. What can be done to bend or control the cost curve? • Technology needs – how do districts meet the technology needs in their district if unable to pass bond issue
