District-wide we currently operate approximately 570 personal computers. The majority of our computers are standards based systems with PowerPC, G3 and G4 processors. A great number of Intel Pentium and Pentium II computers and labs have been added to our schools.

All classrooms have a computer for the teacher to keep electronic records, including grades and attendance, as well as a research station using the Internet. Many classrooms have multiple computers for student access. Hubs have been installed in classrooms that have several computers so they can access the network and on out to the Internet for research. Most classrooms have printers installed, either inkjet or laser technology.

There are computer labs in all of the school buildings with modern computers installed with network access. The labs are either Apple Macintosh G3, G4, iMac or Pentium class systems.

All of our administrative offices use PowerPC or Pentium based computer systems and laser printers with workgroup laser printers.

We've installed workgroup laser printers in key areas of buildings for staff and/or students printing needs.

The E.H.S. library has over 20 standards based Macintosh and Pentium systems for the students. Our middle school recently installed new iMacs for students who need access to information for their studies.

We have continued to upgrade our ClarisWorks site licensing and are currently using version 6.0. Multiple lab packs of various educational titles have also been upgraded to current versions.

We have upgraded our Microsoft Word 6.0 licensing to Word 98 and have added licensing for Microsoft Office and PowerPoint. We continue to operate the network tower system loaded with updated reference materials such as WorldBook Encyclopedia, SIRS Researcher, InfoTrack

Magazine Index, Wilson Biography Index, etc. Virex and FoolProof site and

district licensing. Various operating systems including: Mac OS 6.08, 7.1, 7.5

, 7.6.1, 8.1, 8.5 and OS 9. Our Intel based computers are running Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows NT 4.0

The A.D.L. building is connected to our network with multi-mode fiber optic cabling systems.

All schools have local area networks.

The high school campus network connects multiple buildings with multi-mode fiber

optic cable. The connected buildings are North Hall, South Hall, Gym, District Office, Independent Study Center, Special Services Building, and portables. All

of these are connected with fiber optic cable except for the gym (connected with

thin net coax) and the portables (twisted pair in underground conduit). The internal building wiring is all category 5, twisted pair from wiring closets to

the classrooms and labs.

We have added 10/100 Ethernet switching to our District Area Network. We are fully switched on the EHS/Admin core campus area at 100mb over our fiber backbone.

We continue to use Asante 1012, 1016IQ, and

Netstacker Ethernet concentrators. We have TribeStar hubs for legacy LocalTalk

connections. Our District Area Network connects all school facilities over various connection methods and technologies. We are striving to maintain compatibility with the K20 network by adhering to its technical standards for data and video.

Several new classroom portables have been added to our schools and all have been connected to the district network. Eatonville Middle School has added an alternative program. It is in a separate facility which we’ve connected to the Internet with a cable modem and router.

Our District Area Network is built upon several key routers the primary one being the K20 Cisco 2500 series. Behind it is our Districts’ main router, a Cisco 3600 series. It supplies connections out to all our other schools. We have a 56k DDS connection to Weyerhaeuser Elementary. There is also a 56k DDS connection to Columbia Crest School. We were able to run fiber optic cabling through town over to Eatonville Elementary and Eatonville Middle School. We route this connection as well.

We've recently added some wireless networking technologies in our buildings. Each school has an Apple AirPort base station. Currently the network can be accessed by mobile computers whose users need to log on to email systems or the Internet and other administrative services.

UPS systems were added to the networking infrastructure to protect and provide stability to our computer information systems.

Approximately 1200 amps power usage for computer workstations. Approximately 400

amps usage from other video equipment.

Eatonville and the surrounding areas experience numerous power outages and other service related failures. We have started installing battery backup UPS systems to desktop computers.
