During the past several months the team
has worked on updating teacher and
classroom computers from Windows 98 to XP Professional. A donation of used
computers from Polk County and the purchase of used Dell computers from Hy-Vee pharmacies made this possible. We have also upgraded our Symantec
anti-virus software to a centralized version. We have added AdWare, a
spyware removal utility that scans the computer memory, registry and hard
drives for known spyware components and removes them. A server donated from
Drake Law School is currently providing additional backup to our main
systems. Edline, a web based site for parents to check middle school
students progress during the semester is being implemented. The school
firewall was updated. Server backup software was also updated. We have added
Fortres desktop security on all student and classroom computers.
