MONROE - At a meeting Feb. 8, the Monroe school board: • Approved the purchase of a Dell network backup system consisting of two servers/storage devices and software for a total of about $22,865, plus a $6,800 annual licensing fee. Business Administrator Ron Olson said the system would allow the district to back up all of its servers, virtual servers and data. He said the district's current system has been failing over the last three months, first slowing down the network and then only backing up critical services instead of everything.
