Summary: The District has been working with Sentinel for the past five years supporting the Cisco environment and equipment. Sentinel's High Availability Network Support with CISCO Smartnet coverage adds one and two hour response guarantees on major systems that keep the district connected and working. The total cost of this agreement is $135,254. This is a decrease of $8388 from the previous year based solely on the fact that coverage on some district equipment is not being renewed because it is no longer needed.
Funding: The total cost of $135,254 is allocated in the 2021-2022 technology budget.
