Inside Community High School District 99’s Untethering

• A strategic planning initiative among stakeholders about technology improvements led Community High School District 99 officials to begin a network upgrade and wireless implementation in 2011.
• IT staff relied on CDW•G’s Advanced Technology Services team for help planning and implementing an infrastructure that would make a tablet rollout to teachers possible.
• The district deployed an all-Cisco infrastructure in summer 2011 and rolled out Lenovo ThinkPad X220 tablets to the teachers for classroom use this fall.
