August 2007: 

Learning Management System – The Learning Management System provides the District with an e-learning solution. The solution provides the District with the capabilities to administer various online classes. Provided functions allow for scheduling, registration, class list management, reporting and grading capability. Administrators can add and customize classes from different sources into the solution. The online classes can be offered to students, faculty, staff, and community members. Class content is included in the areas of IT Certification, Professional Development, and PC Applications.

Computer Equipment – The computer equipment throughout the District is being replaced. For example, student desktops in the media centers of both high schools and various labs are being replaced. In addition, student desktops will be replaced within each middle school along with Shawnee Elementary. The teaching staff within both high schools, all middle schools, and Shawnee Elementary will receive new laptops.

Wireless Infrastructure (Phase II) – Phase two of the wireless infrastructure will provide wireless network access to the remaining buildings that were not included within Phase One. The wireless infrastructure will allow staff members and students to utilize laptop computers anytime, anywhere.

Security Cameras - The "surveillance systems" will provide new Seneca Middle School and Dakota High School’s Ninth Grade Center with security cameras on the perimeter of each building. Digital video recorders will be utilized to store the various information. In addition, the security cameras can be viewed over the network via a Web browser.

Audio/Video Equipment - The broadcast and video editing systems within the Community Relations Department are being replaced. Additional functionality will be achieved via the addition of the broadcast and video editing equipment. 

Asset Management System - The “Altiris Management System” provides the technology support department with three additional capabilities. The client management suite will allow the technology support department to create “images” and software “packages.” Once these two items are created, the technology support department will be able to “push” them from a centrally located area. There will be no need visit the buildings. In addition, the asset management suite will provide for a new asset tagging solution. Computers and other technology items will be entered into the asset management suite.

August 2005:

Networked Electrical Protection Upgrades
The District eliminated servers out of the buildings within the District last summer. Remaining in place is a combination of managed and unmanaged uninterruptible power supplies. Most of the UPS units are at the end of their useful lives. The new networked electrical protection devices will replace the unmanaged units with a method of electrically protecting the equipment from lightning strikes and power surges.

Destiny Resource Management Solution
Destiny is a next-generation solution for school districts. It combines circulation, cataloging, and management in one library system. Students will be able to access Destiny’s powerful features through any District workstation with a Web browser. In addition, students will be able to access Destiny from at home via the Internet at the following website, http://library.cvs.k12.mi.us.

Desktops and Laptops
Additional desktops and laptops have been purchased to deploy as needed.

LaserJet Printers
At this time, we are continuing to replace the remaining inkjet printers that are located within the various elementary and middle schools. As a District standard, LaserJet printers are replacing the inkjets.
