Phone System Upgrade and New Ticketing Platform Among District Tech Initiatives

Fiber connectivity has been completed at Swanton, Highgate, and MVU as part of a district-wide phone system overhaul, with a full switchover planned for this summer. On the events side, the district is piloting BookTix — a digital ticketing platform — for the upcoming MVU production of Anastasia, allowing patrons to purchase tickets online or pay by card for the first time. The district is also getting early access to Arbiter, a new athletics management platform, ahead of fall registration. Meanwhile, a software audit tool called GoTeacher is helping identify unused licenses and flag any software lacking a student data privacy agreement. Supply chain pressures driven by AI data center demand have raised Chromebook component costs by roughly 130%, prompting the district to evaluate alternative manufacturers and plan for longer device lifecycles.
