Network engineers find that the network has daisy chained stackable, shared hubs. There is no concern for segmentation of the network and there is no high- speed backbone for the servers and other network resources. A district installs a network with in-house personnel. They have no mechanism for teachers to distribute files to students or for students to drop off files for teachers. There is no Internet filtering or virus protection.
Viruses regularly disrupt the system.
Students have a number of troubling Internet incidents. The internal staff who are supporting the network are in a constant crisis mode. A district hires its own networking support staff. After a year or two members of the technical staff leave for new positions in private industry. The school goes months without the proper support it needs.
