    Provide for replacement of older network equipment as well as the purchase of new equipment to increase network bandwidth, improve security and upgrade private wireless network allowing for increased speed and additional users.  By upgrading the private network the district will also have the ability to create a “public” filtered wireless network allowing for non-district computers/devices to access the Internet.
