<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black"><span style="mso-spacerun:yes">     </span>As the current school year concludes and
planning continues for summer activities and the 2020-21 school year, the Ohio
Department of Education has issued instructions for all personnel and school
districts to upgrade Microsoft computer operating systems to Windows 10. The
company no longer supports Windows 7, and this can generate myriad problems -
from security, viruses and ransomware concerns to operational features. The
advisory:</span></div>

"Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2
after Jan. 14, 2020. Microsoft will no longer provide security patches or
updates for these operating systems. When an operating system manufacturer ends
support for an operating system in the middle of the school year, the
Department maintains support for that operating system until the end of the
school year. Testing support for Windows 7 will no longer be available after
the 2019-2020 school year. Schools and districts that have not upgraded from
Windows 7 by the end of the school year must plan to do so before the start of
the 2020-2021 school year."</span></div>
