      • Bus Garage needs to have dial-up Internet replaced with high-speed (need vendor estimates). The Bus Garages dial-up internet for their one computer will be replaced by our network. We are still in the process of selecting the best option at this point. Depending on certain factors, we will either use their existing line to "splice" into our network, or get quotes from a vendor to run a new line. Either option will allow us to provide wireless coverage to the entire garage.
        • Get Vendor quotes for CATE drops, Bus Garage(possibly), and Heritage Library
        • Wireless authentications will be need to be overhauled before start of school to allow easier student and guest access district wide. This will help tremendously as we will not have to touch student or presenter devices to get them on the Wifi.
