A high speed Internet connection is budgeted to link the district to BOCES as an Internet Service Provider. The connection is specified as a dedicated, T-1 leased line or higher speed.
LAN cabling will be installed in each classroom and instructional space. The classroom cabling includes drops in each classroom to network workstations and printers. The costs also include video in each classroom.
Additional A/C power service upgrades, and electrical distribution to provide sufficient power and a duplex outlet for each workstation and device, where needed. In all existing spaces where power and data cabling will be implemented, surface mounted raceways will be used. For aesthetic and practical reasons, a twin-channel raceway will include data, phone, video, and electrical outlets.
