At this point, each school district has it's own IT dept.  We are in the
process of exploring consolidating IT services under the CSSU umbrella.
This would allow us to share resources more efficiently and construct an
SU-wide IT services dept. which could deploy teams of skilled
professionals across the 5 schools (7 buildings) leveraging expertise as
well as professional development opportunities for all.
