Portfolio for 2001-2002
Some Accomplishments for the Year
Glen Krause, Network Administrator - UST
Backup and Restoration:
5 years of no lost data and up time. Our network is never down, our data
is never lost or damaged. We have multiple onsite and offsite backups
and I have safely restored data with no down time. On our annual site
evaluation from Edison every category that pertained to data, backups,
or infrastructure received the highest mark of “Exemplary”.
Setup & Maintenance of computers, network, and hardware:
All of our systems are online continually, all classroom and laptop computers
are operational continually. We have 7 server computers and about 300
onsite computers.
Support technology initiatives as needed:
We test everything that comes down the pike for Edison. We make it work,
then they use it in other schools nation wide. We fully support every
Edison mandate and system. This includes but is not limited to
SASI,
Starship Testing Systems,
Benchmark Testing Systems,
NT servers etc...
Technology Support and Help Desk:
We have a one or two day turn around on all Tech Repair Requests continually.
Teachers can drop off a laptop any time of any day, I stop what I am doing
and help instantly for all admin personnel with computer problems.
Management of User Accounts:
Thousands of users, all up to date, all continually maintained and working
daily.
Personal initiative, systems development, site development:
This year I conceived and created the online calender for our site. It
is now a part of our daily routine and used widely. I conceived and managed
the next phase of the online calendar that will make it possible for Kevin
to maintain, and free me from daily webmastering. This new calendar will
come online with our new equipment and the coming school year. I conceived
and oversee the creation and maintaining of our ONSITE local.general (staff_News)
group. I lost count of how many times NY was down and our school was NOT
down due to having this on OUR network and under my management. We are
not NY dependent for our sites communications. I conceived, oversee and
help in the creation and maintenance of our onsite resources server that
includes but is not limited to the following:
Online Digital Camera Pics
Web Page Templates with automated “send me” feature for teachers
Clip Art Gallery
Web Art Gallery
I conceived and created the “Reply to weekly Bulletin” to encourage and
track teacher participation in technology and communications on site.
I conceived and created the Super Sub Schedule used daily on our site.
Bonus Material, ingenuity, money savings, and initiative:
I saved enough money in my repairs budget by doing all my own repairs
to get a network printer for every lead. We now have “House” printers.
This solves many problems and saves much money on site. The “House” will
be responsible for toner, paper and making their own policies for printing.
This saves greatly on paper and toner and makes the printers and supplies
“self policing”. This also saves the computer lab and media center printers
from taking all the load daily. This also reduces the load on our new
ink jet printers we are getting per classroom and they will last and be
useful for more years of convenient operation in the classrooms. This
also will help the lead Secretary by ELIMINATING people printing to the
office printer when she is doing certificates and other important jobs.
Golden Achievements, BIG money issues:
Last but certainly not least I was given the 2 year old ongoing “headache
project” of the SASI/Pentamation systems interface. Less than 3 weeks
after receiving the project as the new project manager I was able to build
a repour with the district leadership and techs, and guide our onsite
personnel to victory and this system is up and running daily. I have the
promise from Maria at the district that we can and will in the very near
future be improving upon the current systems interface and take us into
the future where literally “no Edison School has gone before”. I am also
daily directing the work flow of Brian Bennett and of course myself to
maximize productivity and serve our user community here at Feaster. I
am working with Stacy McGee, Technology Director and NY on a nearly daily
basis on the “rollover” to our new network and new systems with the goal
of having no administrative down time and minimal user downtime.
In Closing:
I love my job and the staff here at Feaster Edison Charter and it is my
privilege and joy to offer my services for another year of HUGE change
in rebuilding this entire network from the ground up and taking us boldly
into the 21st century....
