Desktop Computer Replacements: I will be replacing the HP desktop computers in the high school, middle school and Laurelville. Once technology requests are at a manageable level, I will schedule a time to replace the computers. 

Joining all laptops to Active Directory: During the school year, I will be joining all district-owned laptops to our active directory domain. This will make it easier to push out updates and have better security. Students should not be on staff laptops, as less content is being filtered for staff.

Laptop Replacements: I will be replacing 15 laptops this year. I will notify those who will receive them and schedule a time to copy everything from the old laptop to the new one.
