We anticipate that students, parents, guest speakers, vendors, and =

We permit, and encourage students to bring their own computers to =20
school, we do not issue or have school laptops.
As we do not have servers with storage or that people connect to we =20
have few concerns as to security. We do check the windows PC's for =20
anti-virus software before permitting them to connect.
We keep the wireless network separate from the wired one and the =20
Administration computer are on a physically separate network that can =20
not be accessed from the academic one.
We have students with Windows, Mac and Linux based laptops. They are =20
not permitted to use their laptop in place of their assigned OS of the =20
day unless their personal computer is off the assigned type. For =20
example if a student was due to use Windows on a particular day they =20
could not use their personal Mac instead they must use the one of the =20
lab's Windows computers for that day. Every third day they have a =20
different OS assigned to them Windows, Mac, Linux.
