macOS Update/Upgrade Reminder and a Thank You

Real estate experts often remind us that three most important aspects of a property are "Location, Location, Location." When it comes to technology, the three most important things are "Security, Security, Security."

Over the past several months, the Department of Technology and Innovation has strongly encouraged (dare I say "nagged") you to upgrade and update your computers to the latest versions of macOS. Thanks to you, our district has been very successful. When you first received new MacBook Air laptops in 2020, they were pre-loaded with macOS 11 ("Big Sur"). Now, in 2025, all of us are on at least macOS 14 ("Sonoma"), and the vast majority of us are on macOS 15 ("Sequoia"). We should definitely give ourselves a round of applause for our efforts.

Of course, our efforts don't end today. Going forward, we will continue to keep our devices updated and develop the digital habit of updating and upgrading as often and as quickly as we can. The more often we update, the less time those updates take. More frequent updates both maximize our time and lessen Barrington 220's security vulnerabilities.

So, from the bottom of our Apple silicon hearts, thank you for helping us help you keep our Apple fleet secure and up-to-date!
