Public school technology infrastructure: five-year study of system vulnerability and sustainability by the Department of Education (Ley de Reforma Educativa de Puerto Rico, Art. 9.05(d))

The Department of Education of Puerto Rico must carry out a study of the vulnerability and sustainability of the technology systems and infrastructure that support educational services in its schools, at least every five years. The study must provide an inventory of the infrastructure components, covering equipment and facilities, operational state, technical and energy vulnerabilities, and the state and cost of maintenance and licensing.

The study must also identify the human and economic resources devoted to operating the infrastructure, by identifying the procedures and policies that govern the operation of the systems. The Department had to submit to the Legislative Assembly, before June 30, 2019, a report identifying all infrastructure components, operating costs and the resources devoted to them.

That report had to state whether the current infrastructure is fit to support the Department's present and future initiatives and challenges, and to analyze recommendations for its optimization and improvement over five years. The Act took effect on approval, except for its school-choice program. The Act was approved on March 29, 2018.
