Infrastructure upgrades for 1:1 initiative

Garland ISD's Strategic Plan calls for providing each middle school and high school student with a digital device. As a result, a 1:1 initiative was one of the projects proposed in the 2014 Garland ISD Bond.

The district is now upgrading its infrastructure in preparation of the district's 1:1 initiative. These upgrades will include a tenfold increased capacity to Wi-Fi and Local Area Network (LAN) in all GISD educational facilities and a refresh of the Metropolitan/Wide Area (MAN/WAN) network.

Laurie Vondersaar, Chief Information Officer, presented to the Board of Trustees on January 19, 2016 about the objectives and progress towards these upgrades.
