From the meeting
The Technology Department began planning for upcoming E-Rate projects to improve infrastructure reliability and network security. Two priorities were identified: replacing aging network firewall equipment and modernizing battery backup systems with newer lithium-based technology. The firewall was described as having reached the end of its product lifecycle, and the district said it would continue evaluating solutions and funding options.
Decision state: planning stage.
