The mission of the Jacksonville ISD Technology Department is to support student success in an ever-changing global society by providing a safe, secure, and accessible technology environment that enhances critical thinking and fosters lifelong learning. We are committed to maintaining a reliable and secure network, delivering prompt and effective IT support, and equipping all users with the hardware, software, and connectivity needed to thrive.
Jacksonville ISD has many devices that are used for instructional and administrative purposes in the PK-12 program. The Jacksonville ISD Board of Trustees has exhibited their commitment to technology in each year’s budget. They have empowered students, teachers, and staff to be leaders in effecting change.
Jacksonville ISD’s wide area network consists of a 10 gigabit backbone between 15 locations. Every location in the district is connected to the central site via fiber optics. This type of network offers many opportunities for using and sharing information within the district as well as the community. We strive to provide an infrastructure for communication with parents and community members, including year-round access to school news, educational resources, data and personnel. Daily operations are conducted across the network including Business Services, Special Education Services, Food Service, Student Information Management, Time management, Heating and Air management, Remote Technical Assistance, Video Surveillance, Telephone Services, and Library and Textbook services.
The district is dedicated to improving academic achievement by infusing technology into teaching and learning in all areas. The Instructional Technology Department in the district provides opportunities, incentives, and support for educators to develop model practices in the integration of teaching, learning, and technology. Jacksonville ISD "Empowers Technology Champions".
