Lott leads technology
improvements across Metro
Schools
At the dawn of the 21st Century,
Metro Nashville Public Schools‘ information
systems barely limped along, huffing to
cope with demands heaped onto an antiquated system
that barely pretended to serve the central
administration, much less 4,000 teachers, 300
principals and assistant principals and
then-69,000 students. A then-new Bush Administration promised to
intensify demand for accurate, timely data
throughout the school district, with the
introduction of No Child Left Behind
and related accountability mandates.
In 2001, Lance Lott, now
51, bested other candidates to become Metro
Schools’ first Chief Technology Officer, and today
serves in the Cabinet of Director of Schools Pedro
Garcia, as assistant superintendent for technology
and strategic planning. His responsibilities
span IT, Policy Governance (supporting
the oversight role of the Board of Public
Education), district-wide Strategic Planning,
Customer Service and Quality Management.
Today, Lott oversees a $12
million annual operating budget and about $6
million per year in capital expenditures for
technology-related assets. Nearly $30 million in
IT-related capital improvements have been made in
the past three years. Lott's bailiwick employs 156
FTEs, including seven teams of about 84
professionals deployed in the field to provide
tech support for 132 schools, with the balance
stationed in central administration. Lott's
management team includes Mike Law,
director-technology support; Hank Barry, field
support manager; Vicki Philpot, Director, Enterprise
Development and Integration; and, John Rushing,
Director, Operations and Resource
Management.
Progress: Among other
gains, Staff now have access to online
employment-application and
professional-development systems, and the crucial
individual education program (IEP) protocol used
in Special Education has been automated.
MNPS recently activated its first call center,
employing EPIC software and BrightArrow
call-center technology. The district employs
EMC for SAN and NetBackup from Veritas for
enterprise backup.
District central offices
now have Cisco 3Com quality-of-service-level Voice
over IP telephony within MNPS buildings, and
consumer-grade VoIP has been introduced to some
schools. Beacon Technologies performed
most VoIP-related installation. Also,
on Nov. 1, Lott's team launched an improved district website, using a
content-management system created by Ironpoint / CGI, which also supports an
intranet and provides a template for use
by individual schools.
Lott’s attention is
currently focused on two huge priorities:
Coaxing a still-wet-behind-the-ears district-wide
Chancery Student Management
System (SMS) into sustained stability and
reliability, and quelling user dissatisfaction.
Second, Metro Schools is moving to the Oracle
PeopleSoft EBS system for human resources, payroll
and benefits, and plans to go-live with that
system by April.
In prospect: a
Spring 2006 pilot of Edusoft (Houghton-Mifflin), to
provide teachers and administrators near-real time
data on students’ individual education progress.
Also during the next eighteen months, Lott expects
to secure IT contractors for implementation a
food-services management system and for textbook
management.
Lott also plans to deliver a 3- to
5-year strategic plan for technology by
February. The plan will probably address how to
move the district from its continuing dependence
on data silos, toward true data warehousing; the
roles of laptop computers, and other key issues.
A believer in IT measurement and
assessment, Lott plans to enter Metro Schools in
the first stage of Baldrige-type assessment
conducted through the Tennessee
Center
for Performance
Excellence.
Meanwhile, demand for
bandwidth in Lott‘s world is growing
rapidly. Lott is forging ahead to strengthen Metro
Schools’ infrastructure, explaining, “We’re
turning into one of the largest Microsoft SQL
Server shops in town, with a powerful new data
center, relying on EMC storage networks, and
leasing infrastructure from BellSouth via
Education Networks of America (ENA)." Lott expressed
hope that the Telecommunications Innovation Task
Force recently established by Metro Council
will produce findings that benefit public
education.
Each
Metro Schools teacher now has a PC on the
network, and each has a telephone with voice-mail,
resources that were only dreams a few years ago.
He plans to have 25 schools on 100-megabit fiber
connections within three months. Not until such
connectivity is universal can Lott focus more
attention on the grand objective, enabling
teachers to have unprecedented access to knowledge
about the best teaching practices and other
resources.
Reared in
Homestead , Fla.
, area. Earned B.S. in Business
Administration, with emphasis on management and
accounting. Served HCA 1977-1986, with duties
including controller roles, internal audit,
financial-systems management, IT support services
and vice president, HCA Health Alliance. He then
served 1987-1993 as chief information executive
for HealthTrust, following its spinoff from HCA.
Earlier this year, Lott earned his
Tennessee teaching
license and a Master’s in Education at
Tennessee
State
University
. In 1993, Lott
founded InfoAdvantage Inc., a systems-consulting
firm specializing in collaborative technologies,
including groupware and workflow applications. (At
the time of InfoAdvantage’s recent sale to Xebec, Lott owned a
small portion of the firm.)
