Smart Schools 2016-18 Plan
How does Jordan-Elbridge plan to use the funding?The district’s proposed Smart Schools Investment Plan concentrates on two categories eligible for Smart Schools Bond Act monies:
1. Increasing connectivity: The smart schools bond act funding will be used to connect all the district's data closets with a 10Gbps fiber optic backbone. The installation of new network switches will allow for a large capacity of users to connect to district resources simultaneously. Wireless access points and cabling will also be installed to increase wireless density to support the increasing number of mobile devices used in classroom instruction.
2. Installing high-tech security: Funding will also be used for the installation of HD NVR servers to provide storage for recorded videos, the installation of one 16-megapixel camera at the entrance of each building, and the installation of additional interior cameras for increased coverage.
