Vision Statement

The Faculty and staff of Southside High School, along with the Administration and our community leaders, have accepted the responsibility of providing a quality educational program for our students. Our efforts are combined to present the

knowledge, skills, methods, and values needed by our students to successfully pursue their goals in life and to contribute to our American democracy productively. We seek to work cooperatively with other community forces that are a part of our students’ lives. We aim further, to meet their educational needs but to also instill in them a sense of self -worth and

acceptance of the value of each individual. We believe that we best serve our students and community by combining our resources to develop students who are well-rounded and can assume responsible roles after high school.

History of Southside High School

Schools have been a strong part of the history of Southside. The first school in Southside was Burns Academy. In 1023,

the name was changed to Southside School and it became a part of the Etowah County School System. In 1944 Southside School was completely destroyed by fired. In 1948, the first unit of a new school was completed. In 1956, Southside had the smallest school in the county with only 411 students in grades one through twelve. Today, Southside

is the home to the largest school in the Etowah County School District. In January of 2007, the doors of the new, 125,000 square feet Southside High School opened to 719 students. Currently, we have an enrollment of 826. 51.4% female, 48.5% male, 0.1% Indian, 1.3% Asian, 3.3% African America, 0.8% Hispanic and 94% white.

Demographic Information

Southside High School is the largest school in the Etowah County School System and serves students in grades 9-12. SHS student population is gained from the communities of Southside and Rainbow City. According to the 2000 Census, the population of Southside was 7,036. In the same Census, Rainbow City’s population was estimated at 8,8,428. By

2010 the Southside population had grown by 20.8% to an estimated population of 8,501. Rainbow City had grown by 11.4% to an estimated population of 9, 393. These combined populations total 17,894. SHS has the following ethnic representation: 1.3% Asian, 0.8% Hispanic, 3.3% Black, 94% White, and 0.1% Indian. The gender composition is 51.4%

male and 48.5% female.

Technology and Curriculum Integration

The faculty of Southside High School is active participants in the 21

st Century Classroom. Our teachers are on the

leading edge of technology use in their classrooms by utilizing podcasts, blogs, Smartboards, webcasts, and many

student developed projects. These projects range from podcasts, and PowerPoint presentations, to student created web movies and podcasts. Our teachers have access to two SmartBoards, seven iPads, and one Promethean board. In addition to these activities and opportunities, our school was one of the original schools included in the ACCESS Distance

Learning Initiative. Through ACCESS, our students have been able to receive instruction in a broad range of electives that otherwise would not be available to them. Our school also utilizes Synchroneyes in our library and computer labs, enabling our staff to closely monitor a student’s web browsing habits. A large majority of our classrooms are equipped

with ceiling mounted projectors that are used by our staff in daily instruction. As a school, we are constantly monitoring the latest developments in classroom and educational technology and we strive to enhance learning through any possible additions and updates to our current technology availability.

Infrastructure as Related to Technology

In all existing facilities, every classroom has a minimum of four drops of Category 5 or 6 copper cabling. All Etowah

County Schools are connected to each other, to the outside world, and to high speed internet access using a fiber-optic network built for the system in 2005. In the high schools, the WAN bandwidth has been increased to 1 gbps to better meet the demands of ACCESS instruction. All schools have 130 mbps Internet connections- 120 mpbs of connectivity is

provided by Alabama Supercomputer Authority and 10mbps is provided by Charter Communications. Internet connections are provided by the Alabama Supercomputer Authority and Charter. These connections are routed through the ECBOE Central Office. All file servers in the Etowah County School System are equipped with either Dell Poweredge 2650, 2850,

R300, or R310 servers with 4GB ram, 3 36GB SCSI Hard Drives in a Raid5 configuration and Intel Xeon processors. All locations have Cisco Catalyst 2950 switches to give 130 mbps switched connectivity on all network backbones.. There are numerous Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 servers running specific applications such as Inow. A typical server

hardware configuration is a Dell PowerEdge 2650 or 2850 with dual Intel Xeon processors. The servers have a minimum of three 36GB SCSI hard disk drives in a RAID 5 configuration and a minimum of 4 GB of RAM. Network connectivity between schools is provided by either a switched 100mbps or 1 gbps fiber optic network provided by Charter and

monitored by ITS in Wetumpka, Alabama. The 30mbps Internet connectivity from the Alabama Supercomputer Authority combined with a 3mbps Internet connection from ITS gives us a total of 33mbps of Internet connectivity. Videoconferencing labs are in place at each of the six high schools and are fully operational. Southside High School

added a second videoconferencing lab and a wireless tablet PC portable lab when they were selected as a pilot school for ACCESS. Beginning with the 2006-2007 school year, every high school offered classes via distance learning. All administrative offices at SHS are connected to the file server.

Connectivity/WAN Connectivity Between Schools

The Etowah County Bus Shop has a Bellsouth DSL connection using a VPN back to the Central Office for connectivity. Sll

high schools and the central office have 1gpbs connectivity. All other locations are connected by a 130 mbps fiberoptic WAN, provided by Charter and managed by ITS.. Future plans include increasing Internet bandwidth to up to 100mbps to accommodate additional distance learning initiatives and to add a voice-over IP phone system. With the exception of the

Alternative School, all other school sites and the Central Office are equipped with either Dell Poweredge 2650 or 2850 servers with 4GB of RAM, 3 36GB SCSI Hard drives in a RAID 5 configuration, and Intel Xeon processors. Etowah County School District employs an Ethernet-delivery method to provide internet access throughout the system. The

physical means is fiber and copper bases CAT6 and CAT5e. The systems protocol is TCP/IP, which is standard internally. Novell Netware 6.5 or 6.5 SP2 is the network operating system on the school servers using Novell E-Directory. All locations have Cisco Catalyst 2950 switches to give 100 mbps switched connectivity on all network backbones. Future

plans include placing Cisco 3560 layer 3 switches at the core of each local school network to allow additional management features and to increase the functionality of the system-wide network. The layer 3 switches will also provide the functionality necessary to add a voice-over IP telephone system in the future. Other future plans include installing a

Voice-Over IP network. Voicemail would be provided, administrators would stay in contact with their schools, and other personnel would be more accessible throughout the system. Because of the networking capabilities, telecommunication expenses would be reduced as a result of fewer telephone lines.

Measures to Ensure Information Security

During the 2004-05 school year, a system-wide network security committee was formed. This committee used the COSN initiative on Cyber and network security as the basis for the need for this committee (http://securedistrict.cosn.org). This

committee used the COSN Self Assessment Checklist to determine the current level of school district network security. Areas that were at an adequate level were noted as well as the areas that needed immediate improvement and other areas for long term improvement. The committee developed a mission statement for network security that was adopted at

the May 2005 Board Meeting. Areas that needed immediate attention were addressed over the summer. This included purchasing a back-up server with the capabilities of backing up all Central Office servers to tape. These tapes are rotated each day as well as a weekly backup that is stored offsite. An increased emphasis on network security has taken place in

school technology committee meetings with additional training on the reasoning behind the security procedures so employees will understand the importance of these procedures. The System WAN is protected by a Cisco PIX firewall solution provided by the state as well as a Linux firewall solution designed by the Alabama Supercomputer Authority. This

Linux solution is in place at the Central Office as well at each school. All wireless access points are currently protected by a Cisco Wireless LAN Security Engine (WLSE) encryption. This solution is a combined Cisco Access Control Server coupled with Ciscoworks Wireless LAN Security Engine. This solution enables a much higher level of encryption that is

more difficult to crack as well as making overall access to the wireless networks easier to access by users with appropriate credentials. The Etowah County School District utilizes TREND Antivirus software on all desktops and servers in the district. The

software is automatically pushed out to all computers through a login script. Updates for TREND are pushed out automatically through the servers. Mobile users have a different version of the software that updates to the TREND website. TREND is manageable through a web-based console that identifies all computers on the network, their level of

antivirus protection (whether they are updated or are infected with a virus), and the version of the software currently running on that machine. TREND Anti-spam software is used to minimize the amount of spam delivered to end users of


Page 7 of 30

the Etowah County Groupwise E-mail program. A Lightspeed Total Traffic Control Box is used for additional firewall protection. This device provides very detailed information about network usage. It also gives us added protection against

viruses, hackers, and malicious content. The Etowah County School District and Southside High School is CIPA compliant. An Internet Safety Policy is in effect

and has been since the implementation of CIPA. Our Internet Safety Policy contains two different Acceptable Use Policies. There is a student AUP and an employee AUP. The student AUP must be signed by he student and a parent/guardian at the beginning of each year. This AUP states that the school district will provide adequate supervision

any time a student is using technology at school. The policy also states that adequate content filtering w ill be provided on all computers within the district. The policy stipulates that any student who intentionally breaks the Internet Safety Policy can be punished according to the Student Code of Conduct and board policies including losing technology privileges. As

of July 2008, these policies and AUP forms are available online at our district web site. The employee AUP is a contract signed by all employees who have contact with school technology. The employee AUP must also be signed by substitute teachers , pre-service teachers , and volunteer workers who might come in contact with school technology

resources. The employee AUP states that inappropriate use of school technology resources can result in disciplinary action including and up to dismissal. Content filtering is currently accomplished using a Lightspeed Total Traffic Control server. The Alabama Supercomputer side of the connectivity uses content filtering provided by Alabama Supercomputer.

This gives our system a second level of protection. Currently, the network is designed to s top all Internet traffic within the WAN in the event of the R2000 failing. Future plans include increasing the management of the network using the Lightspeed reporting capabilities to maximize the load balance between the Charter Internet connection and the Alabama

Supercomputer Internet connection. Plans are also in place to configure the two Internet connections so if one were to drop, all traffic would automatically be redirected to the other. Each year, a public hearing is held to address Etowah County School's Internet Safety Procedures. All county residents, employees, and administrators are encouraged to

attend. Notice was provided several weeks before the hearing to encourage attendance. Among other things student and employee Acceptable Use Policies, CIPA compliance, content filtering, and safety precautions were discussed and provided for review. In September 2008, the Instructional Technology Director and Technology Professional Development

Coordinator attended i- SAFE Internet Safety Curriculum training. i -SAFE Inc. is the worldwide leader in Internet safety education. Founded in 1998 and endorsed by the U.S. Congress, i -SAFE is a non-profit foundation dedicated to protecting the online experiences of youth everywhere. i-SAFE incorporates classroom curriculum with dynamic

community outreach to empower students, teachers, parents, law enforcement and concerned adults to make the Internet a safer place. Beginning July 1, 2008, SchoolWires of State College, Pennsylvania, began hosting the Etowah County School System website. The data center holding the ecboe.org data is in an underground secure location with multiple

redundancies.
