Department Focus
We provide cost-effective
information technology
services, training and
support to staff and
students in the schools and
districts we serve.
Specifically we handle
budget/finance, payroll,
personnel, student records,
warehouse inventory, fixed
assets, census and voter
registration processing. We
also provide standardized
test reporting, maintain the
regional wide area data
networks (WANs) for K-12
school districts and support
information sharing user
groups.
We also facilitate and support desktop
computing. We are directly involved in MISD
desktop services and offer desktop
applications training and support to the
entire Macomb K-12 school community.
Objectives and Tasks
Our department was among the founding
services of the new Macomb Intermediate
School District when it was created in the
early 1960's. Our purpose then as now is to
maximize data processing effectiveness and
minimize costs through a cooperative
service. With that in mind, we review our
programs and upgrade or replace that which
is outdated on a regular basis.
Department objectives are set as needed
and reviewed at least annually with the MISD
management, Board and with the Management
Technology Advisory Committee (MTAC). The
MTAC group consists of a representative from
each school district. This group meets to
monitor, evaluate and support our
operations. They appoint subcommittees who,
with department staff, recommend revisions
and/or new objectives.
