In 1995, the school district created the first networked computer lab in the Learning Center of the Middle/High School. This deployment of computers in what became known as the Integrated Media Center (IMC) was the first use of computer technology outside of a traditional classroom or computer lab.

The IMC machines were networked together to share files and printers. Eventually, resource material such as Britannic CD was added to be shared by network users.

Internet access was achieved through one machine in the learning center accessing a dial-up account provided by a local Internet Service Provider.

In early 1996, the school district was selected to participate in a federal infrastructure program known as TIIAP. The TIIAP program provided essential networking equipment and higher speed internet access to the Middle/High School. The equipment was installed and implemented Internet access for the IMC network in the school year 1996-97.

Meanwhile, both Elementary school computer labs were undergoing major upgrades.

The Millville Elementary School computer lab was upgraded to include networking capabilities of the computers within the computer lab. This, like the IMC in 1995, allowed for sharing of resources and printers, with no connection to the Internet.

The A.F. Maloney School Computer Lab was completely replaced with state of the art workstations. All workstations were connected to a local area network similar to the IMC and MES. Once again, however there was no interbuilding connectivity nor Internet access.

As part of the spring NetDay activities in the spring of 1997, the High School computer lab was wired, and the computers which had been upgraded in the fall of 1996 connected to the network within the BMR complex. This effectively doubled the network in size, and allowed for more Internet access through the District's TIIAP server.

In the spring of 1997, plans were made to connect all the complexes within the BMR school district. An upgrade to the bandwidth connection of the TIIAP server was also undertaken as part of the project.

This upgrade was implemented in June of 1997, along with connectivity of the regional administrative offices into the network as part of the administrative transition from a legacy computer system to a state of the art client/server system.

During the summer recess of 1997, the workstations in the Millville Elementary School lab were once again upgraded, as well as connected to systems within the administration and library. At the Middle School, networking connections were extended to 8 classrooms, and a new middle school lab is being planned. At the J.F. Kennedy / A.F. Maloney complex all administrative offices, as well as the student services, and faculty preparation areas were connected to the network. An e-mail system was established and implemented to all teaching professionals and administrators district wide. This system allows for communication within the district as well as external via the Internet. The Fall 1998 NetDay saw an Open-House to demonstrate the network to the public.

During the summer recess of 1998, all classrooms in Millville Elementary were wired and equipped with a computer. Also, a 30 station Internet lab was created in the High School as well as a new 12 station Professional Development Lab in the rear of the Library Media Center. A 26-seat Keyboarding lab was created, with keyboarding being introduced into the Middle School curriculum. New computers were installed in the existing Library Media Center lab, with the existing ones deployed in the Middle School classrooms. Guidance, nurses', principals' and principal's secretary's offices were wired and equipped with computers throughout the District. A "School-to-Careers" on-line station was established in the High School. In the planning stage are wiring projects for the AF Maloney School, continued wiring in the High School and Middle School classrooms. All classrooms and teaching stations at the J.F. Kennedy school have been wired as part of the addition and renovation project that is about to be completed. Appropriate computers will be deployed in the JFK classrooms and in the new 30 station computer lab added as part of the project.

In summary, what started out as eleven workstations networked together with no Internet access now has grown to over 200 workstations and servers connected by state of the art methods to one another, with high speed reliable Internet access for all users.
