  1. STATE of TECHNOLOGY Sequim School District

  2. External Connections • Connected to the State K20 Network • Gigabet Ethernet Interface • Current Contracted Rate is 100 Mb/s • We routinely run at about 80 Mb/s • Looking at increasing this capacity • Major analysis during upcoming SBAC and MSP Testing • E-rate funding as part of state consortium • Reduced fee structure this year

  3. INFRASTRUCTURE • Fiber backbone connects Haller, OPA, HS Library, H – Building, and New District Office with 10Gb Fiber • Fiber is distributed to HS Gym, HS Cafeteria, A, B, C, & E BLDG patch through the HS Library as an intermediatepoint @ 100 Mb fiber • Maintenance, Music Bldg, are connected by Copper • HS Portables – connected with Cat5 cabling • Alt Ed Classrooms and Ag building connected with 10 Mb Coax • Greywolf is connected via PUD fiber with 30 Mb. We are looking at increasing this if possible.

  4. INFRASTRUCTURE • Server room is located above the MDF in catwalk at Middle School • 4 Active Directory servers running Windows 2008(3) or 2012(1) • Provide file and print sharing services, for students and staff, run applications and SQL Databases for such services as library, HS & MS business offices, MAP Testing and other • - CoRaid Storage – Includes 18-2 Tb drives for backing up data

  5. INFRASTRUCTURE • Internal Connections Include • Fiber Patch Panels, 100 Mb Fiber Switches • HP Procurve, 24 Port Netgear, POE Switches • Assorted 8 port hubs in elementary classrooms • Electrical & Network Drops are limited through out the district. • Ranging from 2 electrical outlets and network drops per class room up to about 8 in some MS Classrooms • CAT5 Cabling runs throughout the district for network connectivity. • The new standard for cabling is CAT6 in order to maximize speed and capabilities of devices.

  6. Monitoring and Management Tools • Fortigate Firewall • LanSchool – Classroom Monitoring Software • DeepFreeze • Ninite Pro

  7. WIRELESS • Aruba System • 48 Access Points – Deployed through out District • 9 - 10 years old – running 802.11g • State of the art is “ac” provides Gb connectivity which is more than 10 times faster than “n”,@ 600-900 Mb’s • “g” provides about 54Mb’s. • Currently No Guest Access • Managed at the controller

  8. Operating Systems & Software • Running Windows 7 on all machines • Office 2010 Productivity Software – Will migrate to 2013 over summer • Moved to Office 365 for e-mail last year • Licensing for Operating Systems, Servers and Productivity Software is through EES • Pay for all employee workstations – Student Machines are at no cost

  9. Technology in the Classroom • All instructional spaces equipped with Document Cameras and Projectors • Document Camera’s and projectors were purchased as part of new curriculum adoptions by content area with the last major purchase being made in 2007 -2008 • Some replacements including those for the new OPA were purchased in 2012-2013 • The addition of the 30 Mimio Interactive systems in the district also introduced short –throw projectors allowing some reserves for replacement • Document camera replacements beginning last year have been through Issaquah @ $35 a piece (4 years old). • Older document cameras are not compatible with Mimio’s • Much of this technology is moving to HDMI connectivity

  10. Technology in the Classroom • K – 2 Classrooms have 4 student workstations – increased by 2 last year • 3 – 5 Classrooms have 6 student workstations • 6th Grade Classes – 4 student work stations (limited by number of drops in classroom) • 7th & 8th Grade Classes – 6 student work stations • Most HS Classrooms have 1 student work station for students to use to check grades on Skyward. • HS Science classrooms have 7 student work stations • HS – Senior English Classes have 8 – 16 Student work stations • HS – Study Skills classroom has 8 Student work stations, Special Services classrooms have 4 - 8 • Ag Science and Cooking classrooms have 6 student work stations.

  11.
