Most were already Y2K- compliant. Those that weren't, we've already started to fix. The assessment revealed about 25,000 computer systems, half of DoDEA's inventory, may be affected. The other half are obsolete or not affected by Y2K, he said. DoD standard systems control personnel and pay and are already Y2K-compliant.
Schools also maintain paper records of attendance and other student files.
In the past year, DoDEA placed more emphasis on safety and security systems such as fire alarms, bell systems and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. We've worked with the installation commanders and our facilities engineers to assess those systems. The few control units found to have Y2K risks will be replaced before the Year 2000, he added. Another area of emphasis is computer-based curricula. Students use more than textbooks, notebook paper and No.
