Case Study: Mandan Public School

Mandan Public School

Mandan Public School District is located in Mandan, North Dakota. The district includes six elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools. The District had hit the end of the road with its aging intercom system. Jeff Rerick, the district’s Chief Technology Engineer, said a new system had been on the wish list for awhile. 

The district chose Marco for the new audio visual solutions for a number of reasons. “I already had a great working relationship with Marco, and I knew Marco had a great working relationship with Audio Enhancement,” said Rerick. “We wanted to leverage the strengths of both of those companies for our classroom systems.” The school district purchased the solutions through a pre-bid state CPC/NDESC 17.3 ITS Contract. Rerick said that made the process of vetting and purchasing the solutions much quicker and it ensured the district was getting a competitive price.

Central Cass School District

When Morgan Forness, Superintendent for Central Cass Schools in Casselton, North Dakota, came to the district in 2015, he saw an immediate need for a master technology plan across all three schools. The district’s aging infrastructure was causing frustration and holding it back from implementing critical new technology. Forness contacted Marco, who completed a thorough technology assessment.

“Marco gave us an incredible assessment documenting what we had, what we didn’t and our inefficiencies. I learned a significant amount of information, which was presented in layman’s terms. The assessment gave us a foundation for strategizing what needed to be done,” he said. The master plan included updating the district’s outdated infrastructure with new network switches and wireless access points before implementing Managed Print, a new phone system, and new audio visual solutions.
