SYCAMORE – Technology problems throughout Sycamore School District 427 spurred teachers and students to ask the board and administrators Tuesday to find a quick solution to a yearlong issue that has threatened the education experience.

Network problems that have prevented students from saving and working on assignments, emailing teachers and even printing out documents have plagued the district for the first six weeks of the school year and are now compromising the curriculum, said high school teacher Stephanie Swineheart.

Swineheart said it is unacceptable for a district the size of Sycamore’s to go months without technology as it affects everything from teacher communication with administration and parents to students’ ability to complete daily homework or important college essays.
