THE FINDINGS
District Top Priories Identified:1. Wireless networks2. Professional development3. Email4. Student achievement5. Learning Management System6. Data Centre Servers7. Desktop/Laptop Workstations8. School Servers9. Printing
Districts identified the overwhelming importance of PLNet in supporting thesepriorities and that the Ministry was in a unique position to asses and support as a key
partner in working to implement strategies and directions with the top 9 priorities
Lower Priority Considerations:10. Video Conferencing11. Voice Over IP12. Finance/HR Payroll
Other Considerations13. Post Secondary Teacher Education14. Information and Data Management15. Security & BC Privacy Laws
