Vernal Express Internet to High within by Kathleen Irving Staff Writer Within the next three years every computer at Uintah High School should be connected to a worldwide web of information through UtahLink and the Internet. Other district schools will also have access ac-cess to the system. The State Legislature has appropriated appro-priated funds to upgrade the computer com-puter information super highway in schools throughout Utah and has pledged financial support to fund system transmission charges once it comes on-line. According to Uintah School District's technology supervisor Marlin Johnson, there are two main hurdles to he jumped before the system sys-tem can become completely functional func-tional at UHS: US West Communications must finish laying the fiber optics line connecting the Uintah Basin with Salt Lake City, and UHS must be rewired. "Our server is ready at the district office," Johnson says, "but there is no local T-l line and US West is dragging their feet getting it done." Uintah Basin Telephone has finished fin-ished laying its portion of the line from around Fruitland to Whiskey Springs and will continue to install fiber optics to Lapoint. US West still needs to lay lines from Heber into Salt Lake City and from Lapoint area into Vernal. Johnson said it is still possible for classroom teachers to tie into the Internet, but it must be done with a annual fee, direct deposit and notary services, free personalized checks, and a quarterly newsletter that covers market trends and financial opportunities.

Rewiring UHS is definitely part of a district plan for the school, says Johnson. When the school was built, empty conduit was run for future fu-ture wiring needs. Unfortunately, the conduit has proven to be too small for the new computer system, but Johnson says a way to run new line will be found "without tearing the school up." It will cost several thousand dollars, however. The Uintah School Board of Education has appropriated $110,000 from the Capitol Outlay Fund for technology education this year. Also the state of Utah allocates funding to all school district for technology. This year the funding to the Uintah School District was $119,900, last year it was $120,000 and three years ago the state funding fund-ing was $150,000. Johnson says most of this year's funding from the board, probably near $90,000, has been earmarked to upgrade outdated computer labs at West and Vernal Middle schools. Whatever is left could go toward rewiring UHS. Johnson also says the district is looking into computer software that can be used to block access to unwanted un-wanted Internet connections. While the District information system is not up to speed yet, Johnson says it is on track with the three-year plan. Until it does come on-line, he suggests teachers and students strive to make maximum use of the technology presently available in the district. Member F.D.I.C. |
