Letter: We’re working to sort out Westport school tech issues

Posted

To the editor:

Over the past few weeks, all buildings in the district have experienced intermittent Wi-Fi, internet connectivity and phone issues. While the Westport Schools has since successfully resolved phone issues, the district is still working to resolve internet and Wi-Fi issues at this time.

As we are aware, many school districts in Massachusetts have been experiencing technology issues, and Westport Schools continues to experience connectivity issues as well. "I would like to thank our Technology Department for their commitment to resolving these issues.

As of Monday, May 3, Westport Schools had significantly reduced remaining issues, but will continue making adjustments in preparation for Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) testing.

The Technology Department has worked relentlessly alongside the district's internet service provider, as well as outside engineers, to review and make changes to the internet data flow and Wi-Fi access point locations.
