Initiatives like computer-based testing, the rise in mobile devices, and the one-to-one student-computer ratio require a robust infrastructure to support them.

Technological tools such as virtual classrooms, online learning platforms, and parent engagement apps are essential to achieving the Chancellor’s goals of Equity and Excellence, ensuring all students, parents, and teachers have equal access to education.

Required Qualifications:

• 7+ years supporting network operations (routing, switching, firewalls, wireless, and network tech).
• 7+ years hands-on with Cisco switches (6xxx, 5xxx, 4xxx, 29xx, 19xx), routers (2951, 4xxx), firewalls (5555, 5516), and Cisco/Aruba wireless controllers.
