Arialink announced today ten school districts of Allegan County signed agreements to purchase Arialink services through a consortium led by the Allegan Area Educational Service Agency (AAESA). The services will include fiber optic (Gigabit) Wide Area Network (WAN), Local and Long Distance Telephone Service and fiber delivered Internet services.
Arialink will bring fiber optic capacity to 14 participating sites, which will add 105 new route miles to Arialink’s current statewide fiber optic network. The network will bring fiber optic capacity to underserved areas of West Michigan that suffers from a lack of competitive broadband or advanced telecom options. Arialink hopes to leverage this network extension for the benefit of all regional business and residential consumers. The Allegan AESA will use the fiber optic network to facilitate educational resource sharing, cost reduction and integration of advanced curriculum into the region’s education programs. |

Early intervention in a baby or toddler’s life can make the difference between struggling in school and succeeding in school. Of the 1496 babies born to Allegan County families in 2005, 45% of these babies are at risk for developing health and learning issues that will impact their ability to be successful in school and in life. Identifying potential risks and equipping families with the skills to successfully parent in the presence of those risks, is an important role of early education. Baby Links works to identify Allegan County families with risks and links them to the appropriate support resource.

The single greatest determinant of student learning is instruction. Your schools need access to accurate and easily manipulated data to assess and make improvements in instructional programming. In a time of budget shortfalls and increased accountability requirements, the AAESA has taken a leadership role in the continuous improvement process by financing a cooperative purchase to help administrators and teachers gather and analyze information and make decisions regarding instructional practice and student performance. - Data Warehouse: In a consortium with Kalamazoo RESA, AAESA acquired a data warehouse software package. The volume purchase discount coupled with a financing arrangement offered by the AAESA, made the annual impact more manageable for our local districts.
- Curriculum Management System: A consortium purchase of the Excelsior Pinnacle System brings the instructional and administrative sides of education together in one centralized data base system to track individual student progress towards learning goals.
