La Vernia I.S.D. has a new Web Specialist.

While you may or may not know that over the summer La Vernia ISD experienced some technical difficulties when an air-conditioning unit went out in the room that houses servers for the district, you probably do know that the district web site was affected. This outage caused the failure of the web server, since that time the district has been operating from a backup server for the district web site.  The back up server, is just that, a backup server, and contained a backup version of the district web site that was a few months old; hence a lot of the information contained in the site was out of date. 

A notice was posted explaining the problem; still the district and community were left with an out dated site.  The current web site is put up and maintained by faculty members from the various campuses and staff members from the various departments.  These staff members all have other duties, and authoring and updating their web pages is just one of the many hats they wear.  There was no one whose sole purpose was to maintain and update the website. 

Recently La Vernia ISD decided they needed to have someone designated to keep up with the website and all its pages on a regular basis.  The school board approved a Web Specialist position just for that purpose.

LVISD’s new Web Specialist is April Rojas.

Mrs. Rojas has lived in Wilson County for eight years and has three children, the oldest of which currently serves in the Army; the younger two are in high school and junior high, respectively. Mrs. Rojas is a graduate of ITT Technical Institute San Antonio with a degree in Information Technology.

In addition to maintaining the website, Mrs. Rojas assists with supporting teachers in their use of technology and the internet.
