Network needs
Last year – failed bid for Fiber network - used interim VPN solution, moved servers and installed new firewalls
- Central Office response time decreased
- Other buildings increased
Bottom line: response time issues are currently a problem and leave no room for growth or expansion of services

5. Department of Technology
Fiber Network
Bid again – have qualified responder
Fiber will be 1000% faster on upload and 125% faster on download – need this for , online grade books, management of servers, in-house remote backup of data, monitoring of network devices
Cost for this major increase is almost the same as an increase of 100% (which would not leave room for growth – VoIP, etc.)
No other viable solution in our area
W/O fiber we will not be able to replace telephones with VoIP (in future)
Continue use of new firewall – excellent product
