Existing Conditions:
District Wide:
SAISD has established a
fiber optic backbone connecting the administration, high school, and elementary
buildings. Our network is Ethernet, using Cisco 2950 switches (purchased in
1996) with a Cisco 3700 core router (2003) connected via T1 to Regional
Education Service Center XV. The local firewall is a Cisco 506E Pix.
Three servers are utilized district wide.
Dell PE2500, PIII, 256
RAM, 34 GB
Intel XEON, 1.8Ghz, 256 RAM, 100 Gb
SuperMicro, Windows 2003
Server, Xeon 2.66 GHz,2 Gb RAM.
Internet filtering is through Educational
Service Center XV.
One Polycom distance learning facility is available
for district wide use and one Tanberg Video Conferenceing System is being
utilized district and community wide.
Our fully automated library is
equipped with 11 computers available for student use.
High School:
There is a 1:1 ratio of computers for administration and teaching staff.
There is one (28-station) lab for student use with 3 additional student
computers in the special education room and two computers in the ISS (in school
suspension) room.
Each classroom has one shared laser printer.
Elementary:
There is a 1:1 ration of computers for
administration and teaching staff.
One (23-station) lab is available for
student use. One 12 station lab is used for the CEI lab.
Each classroom has
one 2 computers for use by Teachers and students.
Each classroom has one
shared laser printer
Standardized software:
Microsoft Office
Accelerated Reader
Sagebrush (library software)
Odyssey
Technology Needs:
Outdated and failing equipment causes network
down time for teachers and students.
Switches and patch panels district
wide were purchased in 1996, of which many ports are unusable.
In order
for our students to be competitive in the job market after graduation they must
be trained on software and hardware which is up-to-date and considered industry
standard.
Students planning to extend their education will be expected
to be technologically literate. Most institutions of higher education require
students to communicate via e-mail, complete assignments on-line, submit
electronic versions of their work, as well as retrieve data from the Internet.
