The Board of Education and Superintendent presented Lincoln High School student Doriana Smith with a Certificate of Commendation recognizing her for receiving an America's Promise Alliance scholarship to attend the 2012 Grad Nation Summit in Washington D.C. from March 17-20, 2012. The annual Grad Nation Summit brings together community groups, educators, local and state leaders, nonprofit organizations, businesses and youth to discuss the progress begin made and remaining challenges in the nation's efforts to increase high school graduation rates. Doriana provided the Board with a brief overview of her experience at the Grad Nation Summit. The presentation included such topics as the drop-out rate, alternatives in education, and where California stands in the battle against student drop-outs. Upon learning that California is categorized as among the worst in the nation to address drop-out rates, she asked America's Promise Chair Alma Powell what she could do as a youth to bring awareness of the drop-out crisis and support the Alliance. Mrs. Powell simply said, "Speak out, get a team of people like you and commune, organize and speak out." It is Doriana's objective to bring awareness of the drop-out rate and share the student's perspective on why it has become such a major issue and what we can do to combat it.

Approve the change order with AMS.net to setup a remote backup to Exchange 2010 at San Leandro High School.

Board Committee

Not Applicable

Policy / Code

Not Applicable

Background Information

This is a change order to follow the Exchange Upgrade Contract approved by the Board on February 28, 2012. Historically, the District backs up the data in the Exchange mail server using a tape backup device located in the server room at the District Office. The District also has a duplicate Exchange Mail Server located at San Leandro High that allows for faster recovery times when needed. As data changes on our production mail server, that data is instantly updated on the backup mail server. Additionally, the full database is backed up on tape nightly. The backup at the District Office is only for the exchange mail server data while the backup at the high school is for the whole server. If the production mail server failed and the District had to recover from the tape backup, the recovery process would take several days to obtain a server, install the software and restore the data. Since we have the backup exchange server at the high school with the current data, it would only take a few setting changes and we could have email operational again within about a day. In upgrading our production email server from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, we also have to upgrade the backup server at San Leandro High. We initially did not include this scope of work in the Exchange Upgrade Contract because we were considering implementing a virtualization solution as a disaster recovery plan. Virtualizing our servers basically means being able to clone our servers using specialized software and being able to store those servers as digital images. So whenever a server fails, the digital image can be used to recover the whole server and the process would only take a few hours at most. As the budget situation changes and implementing a virtualization solution would be more costly than just setting up a backup mail server, we decided for now to go with the least expensive solution until either our budget situation improves or virtualization prices become more affordable. This change order request would include the following scope of work by AMS.net: Professional services to provide additional configuration outside of the original Exchange 2010 migration scope of work including: AMS.NET will install Exchange 2010 Enterprise on customer provided hardware and software at the High School. This server will act as a secondary mailbox database server. This will be using the Microsoft Exchange 2010 DAG technology. AMS will be responsible for adding a new VLAN/Subnet to their core switch as a heartbeat connection to the secondary server located at the high school. This change order is for the amount of $4,500.
