Technology Department

The Technology Department provides solutions for all district-related hardware, software, network, and service needs. The district buildings are connected via a fiber optic network at both locations with a dedicated fiber optic internet connection with the Internet Service Provider (ISP).  Both students and staff have access to desktops or laptops and the district maintains a 1:1 chromebook assignment for all students in grades K-12. 

The department also maintains, supports, installs, and repairs the computing, mainframe, and network resources of the school district on a year-round basis. In addition, with assistance from our Student Technology Leaders, we ensure that staff and student PC assets are repaired and kept in working order. Finally, we also provide various training resources for our students, staff and community members. 

 

It is our mission to prepare our students and staff by providing them with the tools they need to foster the best technology learning environment they can while being prepared to help when issues arise.

 

If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please contact the Director of Technology, Mr. Jeffrey Hoffman at (724) 785-5800 ext. 3004 or email [email protected].

 

 

 

 

 

On December 28, 2024, PowerSchool became aware of a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized exportation of certain personal information from PowerSchool Student Information System (SIS) environments through one of our community-focused customer support portals, PowerSource.  The types of information involved in this incident included one or more of the following: the individual’s name, contact information, date of birth, limited medical alert information, and other related information.  As soon as PowerSchool learned of the incident, they engaged cybersecurity response protocols and mobilized senior leadership and third-party cybersecurity experts to conduct a forensic investigation of the scope of the incident and to monitor for signs of information misuse.  At this time, they are not aware of any identity theft attributable to this incident.

 

You are encouraged to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud by reviewing account statements for suspicious activity. PowerSchool will never contact you by phone or email to request your personal or account information.
