Technology Department

Fruitport Community Schools are ready and able to meet the technological needs of our students.  

We maintain a network backbone which allows up to 1Gb speeds to the desktop and a 10Gb backbone. In addition, we have a strong wireless network in place which is capable of handling the many wireless devices throughout the district.  We are continually monitoring the network to be sure it is meeting the needs of our students and staff and upgrade when necessary.

We are also a member of the Shoreline Fiber Network.  This is a joint project of the Muskegon Area Intermediate School District and other local entities.  This 130 mile fiber network connects many sites, including local school districts, and provides our Internet connectivity through the MERIT Network.

We are very appreciative that our voters passed a county-wide Technology and Security Enhancement millage in 2014,  and the renewal in 2023 which will provide funding for district security and technology enhancements for the next ten years.  Because of this funding, we were able to create a Technology Deployment plan that will provide all students in grades K-12 with a Chromebook.  

If you have any questions or would like more information about the Fruitport Community Schools Technology Department, please feel free to contact me.
