INFOhio upgraded the library software on the server for MVECA to Symphony 4.2 on Thursday, July 16, 2026.

With the upgrade to Symphony 4.2 being completed on the server, you will need to update the WorkFlows application on your library workstations. You may need your technology staff to assist, so please let them know about the upgrade.

After the update has been applied to the server, follow these steps:

1.      Right-click the WorkFlows icon and select Run as administrator.
2.      Make a note of the IP Address and Port number found on the configuration screen.
3.      Log in with your user ID and PIN.
4.      Click Yes when prompted to update the staff client.
5.      Click OK when the download message appears.
6.      Click Install Now when prompted.
7.      Click Finish when the update completes (approximately 15 minutes).

    Verify the Installed Version:

1.      WorkFlows will start automatically, fill in the:
IP Address
Port number
2.      Log into WorkFlows with staff credentials.
3.      Select Help > About from the menu bar.
4.      Confirm that the version number is 4.2.0.0.1335.

The full installation file for the WorkFlows 4.2 application will be available on the INFOhio website:
https://www.infohio.org/lsp-handbook/category/handbook-setup

Subject: [Tech-l] Action Requested: Support the Future of E-Rate

Good morning!
We wanted to reach out to our members regarding the call to action that is circulating throughout the K12 community.  The future of the E-Rate program is under review as the Federal Communications Commission considers changes that could reduce or eliminate this critical source of support for schools. Because many districts rely on E-Rate to make internet access, broadband services, and network infrastructure affordable, any significant changes to the program could place substantial financial pressure on local budgets and potentially affect the technology services available to students and educators.
The Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition (SHLB) encourages education leaders and other stakeholders to speak out in support of preserving E-Rate. Attached are materials from SHLB explaining the issue and providing a response template. Districts may use the template as provided or personalize it with examples demonstrating how E-Rate supports their schools, staff, and students.
SHLB information and response resources are available here:
SHLB Save Our E-Rate<https://www.shlb.org/save-our-e-rate>
Also attached is a petition created by CoSN (Consortium for School Networking). The document, Invitation to Join CoSN Petition Urging Congress to Protect E-Rate Email, contains links to the petition as well as links to nationwide discussions by fellow educators.

To join the CoSN petition, go to:

Petition to Protect E-Rate and America's Digital Learning Connectivity<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuw2CdJfA9vjvXRAZduv--rOE0M1midLWQBmY4OjTF0XpvDw/viewform>.
Please review these materials and consider participating in this advocacy effort. Comments should be submitted by the end of the month.  A strong response from the education community will help demonstrate the importance of maintaining reliable and affordable connectivity for schools throughout Ohio.
Thank you for your attention and support.
Thor

Subject: [Tech-l] New Cybersecurity Cohort Starting
Message-ID: <b0835b5b01464cac8383250b981c83cc@mveca.org>

Good afternoon!
We are working to organize an additional cybersecurity cohort and are looking for districts interested in kickstarting their cybersecurity framework implementations.  The cohort program is a year-long engagement that includes assessment, gap analysis, control reviews, incident response planning, and assistance with policy development.  See attached.
If you are interested, please reply back to me and we'll send you a quote.
Thank you and have a great weekend!
