The NISD Technology Department supports and maintains over 1,000 Internet-accessible workstations and laptops,  Interactive Boards, servers, Internet access points, switches, computer projectors, scanners, digital cameras, network laser printers, desktop printers, and all district software.  In addition, we maintain a 1:1 middle school and high school campuses with Chromebooks for each student.  Each elementary school classroom K-5 has a 1:1 Chromebook issued for each student in the classroom.  Each PK classroom has Chromebooks for its centers.

They conduct new employee technology orientation, in-house workshops for educators, customized training, and support the integration of technology into the curriculum.

They configure and set up all new technology equipment. Other equipment associated with the network is security cameras, secure door access, and thermostats.  

They also respond to daily requests for assistance and troubleshoot all devices and software programs.  The Technology Department takes pride in trying to fix most computer problems the same day the requests are submitted.

Finally, the Tech Department maintains state and federal compliance with the FERPA, COPPA, and SLC ERATE programs.
