LAN Project (School Infrastructure Upgrades)
Most IUSD school sites cope with outdated and insufficient technology infrastructure. Aging cabling and equipment hinder schools’ ability to use technology to enhance instruction and create innovative learning opportunities for IUSD students. In 2015, IUSD committed $14 Million to upgrade the technology infrastructure at all school sites and administrative offices. The scope of the upgrades includes replacing and augmenting network cabling, network equipment and wireless access points. These changes will be coupled with central improvements to allow students and families a more seamless experience when connecting with or at IUSD sites.

Chromebook Carts - Assessment
As many district and State tests transitioned from paper to online, availability of technology devices became an even more critical issue at many sites. Through the LCAP, IUSD invested in Chromebook carts for all elementary, K-8 and middle schools. Each site received between forty and eighty Chromebooks, headphones and mice to support year-round assessment.

Canvas was unanimously selected by a group of over twenty IUSD educators and administrators. Canvas is immediately ready for use and trainings are underway.
