Tech literacy survey at MS level will be coming up later this Spring. The online assessment will be in conducted in Tim’s class

**iBoss**- Sal has removed keyword searches, MS librarians reports things are somewhat better. At this time we may not want to depend on a client that is agent based. As far as challenges- only report extraordinary events There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when the challenges occur.

** Update on Help Desk ** Notification went out ahead of time, email to all staff Getting there with help desk system- seems to be working, # of outstanding tickets has decreased. There is a reorganization including civil service titles

** Update of Wireless at MS - engineering study was done and it is intended that MS would be built out this summer. It will be dependent on the board agreeing to Sal’s recommendation. ** There will be a large presentation to the board on the 19th The guest network is in place bcsd_s is the alternate network there are some concerns- union wants privacy issued cleared up before they are open to everyone. The disadvantage of the guest network as staff is that you do not have access to our network. Also administration needs to make some decisions

**PROMETHEAN BOARDS** - 2 still need to be repositioned but the rest are pretty good. Another board is coming through math department and Sal purchased one on a stand for training. There is another available to the MS but there is a competition to determine where the board and installation will go.

**Active Expression training-** is there more being offered? Online training can be rolled out. Need more integrative instruction (Hillary?)

Budget forum will be available as a webinar using NERIC adobe breeze server

Size of student network files- more research and network storage is a concern. Discussion of cloud computing, paid services. Classlink and virtual desktop deployments are under consideration.
