 District Network & Wireless Service

The Salinas Union High School District's enterprise network has undergone numerous changes and upgrades, as a result of e-Rate and district funding, providing sites fast and reliable networking technology.  Our switching network is composed of Cisco and Meraki equipment, and our intranet bandwidth to all schools and offices is 10 Gigabytes across the network.  Our network currently provides access to a myriad of 30,000+ devices daily via 1,000 WiFi Access Points, including computers, laptops, Chromebooks, mobile phones, and IoT devices.  The needs of the curriculum and instruction drives our network upgrades, and we are planning for future growth in both web based and digital content with the future refresh of our switching and WiFi networks.   Our network, staff, students, and teachers are supported by a dedicated team of I.T., Data, and EdTech professionals of this department.   At the core of our department’s mission is that learning resources are available anywhere and anytime.

 

The Salinas Union High School District uses the Synergy Student Information System (SIS) with the commencement of the 2018-2019 school year. It provides our teachers, administrators, parents, and students controlled access to student information via a Web browser interface and mobile app access.
