Upgrades

Central Technology Services Refresh

Wireless Network, Web Filtering & Firewall System $1,450,000
Replace or enhance the web filtering system and subscription to accommodate
additional device count, network bandwidth, out-of-network filtering, and other
enhanced filtering capabilities.

Providing safe and adequate filtering is required by policy and by the Federal
Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA).

District Data Center Systems $1,850,000
Due to increased demand for central resources and the aging of current equipment,
a general upgrade of various core components of our data center is needed. The
upgrade will ensure core operations and services can be continually provided for
staff and students, including programs such as PowerSchool, SharePoint (web sites),
and email systems.

Classroom Projection Refresh $3,900,000
Many of Cherry Creek’s classroom projectors were replaced in the 2008 Bond,
however many projectors are much older. By 2017, most classroom projectors will
be more than ten years old. A classroom projection refresh will allow teachers to
utilize projection technology to teach innovatively in their classrooms.

Technology Asset Management Software $400,000
The Cherry Creek School District handles tens of thousands of technology assets
such as computers, Chromebooks, printers, router servers, and IP phones. Asset
management software would provide a clearer picture of Cherry Creek’s technology
inventory, where it is, and to whom it is assigned.

Timekeeping Software $600,000
TECHNOLOGY
The Cherry Creek School District currently handles the majority of its timekeeping
via handwritten time cards. This process is labor intensive, prone to human error,
extremely difficult to manage, and costly. Cherry Creek needs an automated,
electronic timekeeping system to significantly reduce these problems and to meet
the requirements of the Affordable Care Act.

Total $8,200,000
