Recording Board Meetings

Recording Board Meetings
By James Reynolds, Customer Service Representative

A year ago, Enoch Kwok, Director of Technology at the La Canada Unified School District (LCUSD), was approached by his district’s school board to start recording their board meetings for public access from their website. The cassette tapes they used in the past were of poor sound quality, offered limited recording time and were hard to manage during a meeting. LCUSD had recently renovated their boardroom and added a state-of-the-art sound system, which made for a perfect opportunity to upgrade to digital recording.


CTO Mentor Project Begins its Second Year
By Andrea Bennett, Executive Director

The 2008 CTO Mentor Project is beginning its second year on March 14, 2008 in Sacramento with a keynote speech from Jack O’Connell, California’s Superintendent for Public Instruction. The project is once again managed by CETPA with sponsorship and support from FCMAT, the California Department of Education and CCSESA. Candidates turned in their applications by early December 2007 and the class was selected soon after. We once again have a wide variety of technology professionals from around the state participating in the project.


Progressive Incremental Backup Methodology

Progressive Incremental Backup Methodology
By Garth Gomes, Information Systems Manager

This past year, the Los Banos USD IT department was in the process of updating our licensing and maintenance agreement for our existing backup software (traditional backup process). During the review process, we felt our existing software lacked an important enterprise function like incremental back ups, without the need for periodic full back ups. This was important to us since we backed up data from 75 servers, district wide, over the network. Occasionally, we had problems getting the periodic full back ups to successfully complete without interruption. This left our department vulnerable without reliable backups.
