Management Technology

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 With that in mind, we review our programs and upgrade or replace that which is outdated on a regular basis.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.
