The school uses an ability level system but it is relatively flexible. Each high school has a position for Technology Coordinator and another for Audio Visual Coordinator. There are classified personnel under their direction that run the computer labs and head-end facility. All technology funds come from district general funds. At this point, the district has over 600 computers with internet access.
Highland Park has a facility they call the head-end.
This is a room where the internet and exterior network connections arrive to the school. This room houses all the main connections that translate electric to optical signals for the computer labs and every classroom and department office. In addition, it houses numerous AV devices that can be used on demand to broadcast to any room. Not every classroom has a computer but many do and they are working toward that goal. The network is not on a Novell System so there is nothing controlling the system and therefore no special needs in connecting machines to the system.
