Four skilled technicians purchase, install, and maintain networking equipment for the ESD, its four school districts, and a variety of non-profit governmental agencies.
The ESD Tech Center continually strives to leverage technology to serve regional districts while improving efficiency. Strategies to accomplish this goal include;
Charging as little as possible or not at all for services to districts
Centralize services to increase quality & decrease cost
Cooperative purchasing for increased savings
Provide solutions and support that enable higher quality services
Keep abreast of the latest innovations
