Computers On Wheels

   Computers On Wheels or "COWS" provide mobile labs for students and teachers to utilize anywhere within a school building.  While a COW can never replace a fully functional computer lab, they do allow teachers a form of versatility that static labs can not offer.   
     Many of the COWS throughout the district are getting older and are in need of replacement.  In addition, a wireless network should be installed in all buildings to allow these mobile labs to have the required Internet speed.  Plans are in the works for the upgrades of wireless networks for all 3 schools to accommodate the ever growing demand for Internet access.

STATUS AS OF: 04/8/08

IHGMS:  New, faster Access points have been installed.  COW A has received a 1gb ram upgrade from 256mb as of 04/07/08
RHS: Expansion of the existing Wireless network is in progress.
LRES: Evaluations of the wireless network are being conducted.

Estimates for a new building wide system for all 3 schools are currently being estimated and placed in the technology goal plan for implementation within 3 years.
