Community of Stakeholders and Resource Linkages
The technology team is broad-based and represents a cross section of community leaders involving schools, cable and computer network engineers, local libraries, local governmental agencies, and business and community leaders. All members took an active role in the planning sessions while the cable and computer network engineers were involved in the actual implementation of the technology plan in coordination with school and community technology committee members.
The plan shows community resources and partnerships by our on-going meetings with both Charter Communications and Chicopee Electric Light Departments as potential providers of Wide Area Networking for data services among schools and in our public buildings. Initially the Technology Committee has elected to utilize the current I-NET of Charter Communications. In 2006 the fiber-network of the Chicopee Electric Light Department is being utilized as the means for city-wide data transmission for school and public buildings.
