ERESA supports students in all local districts who have a hearing and/or vision loss in order to ensure students have access to the general education curriculum. Consultants work with students, families, teachers and IEP teams to identify appropriate accommodations and educational supports, which may include Assistive Technology. During the school year, Eaton RESA offered two events, a pot-luck meet’n’greet and a bowling event at Royal Scot, for the families of students with a diagnosed hearing loss.

Technology Department
The Information Technology Department for Eaton Regional Education Service Agency provides for a vibrant, responsive infrastructure for telecommunications and data services in support of the organization’s broad range of education services. WAN The Wide Area Network (WAN) connects the Charlotte Public, Eaton Rapids Public, Maple Valley, Potterville Public, Grand Ledge Public, as well as Eaton RESA to each other and to the Internet through leased broadband fiber optics. This consortium of districts collaborated together to realize a 61% discount for the 2014-15 school year on Internet and WAN services. This consortium provides a costeffective connection to the Internet for students at local districts with the added economy of scale. The WAN also provides a special education data archive for the area districts, file and print servers for three districts, as well as other shared services. Trusted Domain Users now have the capability to connect to other districts using their home district credentials. This “Trusted Domain” technology now allows staff to connect more easily, making their work more efficient. Remote support can now be offered quickly as well. For example a social worker located in Grand Ledge can receive remote support from the Packard technology office in a matter of seconds. Printer access for Eaton
RESA mobile workers in local district schools is now provided through Eaton RESA, saving time and efforts for most local district technology departments. VoIP Telecommunication through a Cisco phone system provides consistent services using “Voice over Internet Protocol” (VoIP) connected through a primary rate interface (PRI). This year there has been research for enhancements and upgrades to the system, in anticipation of future integration of voice and data services.
22i TRIG Eaton RESA participates in the 22i Technology Readiness Infrastructure Grant (22i TRIG) through numerous professional development opportunities. This board participates in state level planning processes towards improving data services and networking for the region. All Eaton County School Districts have chosen to participate in the grant to ensure their technology solutions met the minimum requirements. The 22i grant also provides significant cost savings to any district who decides to purchase technology related items through the grant.
Mobile Support Mobile device support has taken a much larger presence across the county with the addition of many iPads and other mobile devices to support special education and mobile caseworkers. The technology department supports iPad, iPhone, Android, Google mobile devices, and cell phones. This year, we have instituted a Cisco Meraki solution for supporting these devices. It is possible now to deploy apps remotely to Eaton RESA devices “enrolled” in the Meraki initiative across the Eaton RESA area.
