INTERNET BANDWIDTH ("SPEED") IMPROVEMENT
Work
that began during the Christmas break has been finished. As of 02-23-2008,
the district's
Internet bandwidth is doubled (up to 3.0 mbs from 1.5 mbs maximum.. Many of you have commented on how slow Internet access
is at various times. District administration and the school board heard of
your "need for speed". This should really help as online testing becomes a critical
component for the district.
