Lois Honeycutt, Technology Coordinator
Welcome to our technology home at Lutie.
I have been with the district 16 years, 8 of those years
I have been the coordinator for the technology
department. Lutie has come a long way from the Apple IIe
computer I began working with here to the latest PC on
the market. We currently have SmartBoards in every
elementary classroom and every core subject high school
classroom. We also have SmartBoards in the AG, Media
Center, and FACS classrooms. We have two
eMINTS elementary classrooms and one ITV capable
classroom for college courses through Missouri State
University. Approximately 80% of our teachers have PDAs
and utilize Gradebook and other software daily through
the units.
Technology is very important to our
district. Technology is integrated into the curriculum
and over 70% of our staff have web sites they are
creating this year. Professional development provides
opportunities for our staff to keep abreast of the
newest technologies. We meet all CIPA standards and
utilize eRATE funding whenever possible. Our
administration fully support technology in the
classroom. I look forward to each year and the new
technologies that we can bring to our district.

Filtering
The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA)
became law on April 20, 2001. To be in compliance with
this legislation, public school districts must certify
that they have measures in place that block or filter
Internet access for both minors and adults to certain
visual depictions.
Unrestricted browsing opens doors that allow viruses,
Trojans, spyware, and other malware into your network
that will very likely if not certainly decrease
productivity, cause network disruptions, or even steal
vital proprietary information. Web filtering is
concerned primarily with HTTP-based threats to the
network. HTTP threats that need to be protected against
include threats revolving around messaging, email, P2P
fileshare, spyware, adware, hijackers, cookies, DRM,
malware, phishing, spam, worms, and employee Web
surfing. Protecting against all of these threats
requires a multi-layered content security strategy. Web
filtering is a critically important component of this
strategy, since HTTP communications are one of the
primary methods used to exploit people, applications and
networks.
We have used Symantec Web Security 3.0
for web filtering and virus protection district wide.
