From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 meeting, the district said much of its network infrastructure is outdated and will need hundreds of thousands of dollars in upgrades over the next five years. Superintendent Cody Martzluf said he is working on a long-range technology infrastructure plan that expects to use E-Rate Category 2 funding. The funding debate is still at the FCC, but the district's future network refresh is clearly being shaped now.
