NISD is 100 percent wireless
Northside ISD is now the largest school district in Texas and one of the largest in the nation to become completely wireless.
A network of more than 7,000 access points across 355 square miles has been installed in campuses and facilities, giving students, teachers, and staff access to the Internet anywhere and any time.
The wireless network will be used to augment classroom instruction and increase communication between school staff.
Installing the network cost about $6.7 million, which came from funds approved by voters in School Bond 2004. In the long run, the wireless network will be more cost-efficient than installing cables and hardware every time a campus gets additional computers.
