As I type this post, there are still four access points not working (310, 311, Gym, Greenberg Center). The focus is getting all district owned devices up and running on the network. The next step will be getting those staff members who are interested in getting their personal devices connected. The third step will be student devices.
We are planning on purchasing 25 ChromeBooks at the end of the month to pilot how they work and their reliability.

In the News
Unfortunately, another NJ high school has been in the news recently for what seems to be a very disturbing issue related to HIB. I wanted to share the most recent article with you and remind everyone that we, as educators, have a responsibility to speak up and if you hear about an incident or suspect something is going on, please come forward. No town or school is ever totally immune from having an incident become the lead story on the news; however, if we are proactive and address issues immediately, we can hopefully avoid this type of situation.
