The K12 Educational Technology Association (ETA) report to the COOR ISD board outlines extensive summer 2026 technology projects across its supported districts, including COOR. Planned work includes preparing devices and classrooms, critical infrastructure maintenance, large-scale hardware deployments such as Chromebook replacements and desktop swaps, and systematic cleaning and servicing of network equipment like switches and patch panels. ETA is using centralized project tracking to manage hundreds of tasks across the region. The report also notes completion of a dedicated fiber connection between Manistee ISD and the 1400 campus, ongoing external vulnerability scanning and patching, verified Google and Veeam backups in multiple districts, and professional development for 11 staff pursuing Google Admin Certification. This shows an active, region-wide IT operations and modernization program where ETA is the incumbent service provider. Vendors can engage around supplemental hardware/software, cybersecurity tools, network services, AI/EdTech integration, and specialized implementation or training that plugs into ETA’s multi-district environment.
