With increasing pressure to put more technology in the handsof students, staff, and the community during this time of limit-ed budgets, the network and information technology infra-structure necessary to support all of this technology is oftenforgotten in the process. This session discusses how a smallschool district found itself with more technology than the ITinfrastructure could handle, how this affected its educationaland business operations, how the district developed a correc-tive action plan, and the key learning areas identified forfuture planning.

LLeeaarrnniinngg OObbjjeeccttiivveess: 1. Discuss how the growing technologydemands of students, teachers, business officials, superin-tendents, and school boards must be coupled with IT's abilityto support the technology. 2.

The IRS has issued proposed regulations imple-menting the 3% withholding law that is scheduled to takeeffect on Jan. 1, 2012.

With a change in state law that once again encouraged theuse of collective bargaining arbitration, Wisconsin school dis-tricts began looking for a way to compare wages and benefitsbetween school districts. A chance meeting between a schoolbusiness manager and a school board member launched thedevelopment of a Web-based wage and benefit comparabilitytool. Learn more about this tool, which allows users to collectdata by employee type, filter the data, and create html, PDF, orExcel reports by district size, geographic location, county, ath-letic conference, and/or union affiliation. Users are encour-aged to upload collective bargaining agreements, allowing oth-ers to search for specific items.
