Why we read it this way (7)
The posting is for the Hattiesburg Public School District, placing this role in the Hattiesburg, MS metro area.
The degree requirement is listed as 'preferred' and explicitly allows commensurate experience/training in lieu of a degree, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
The 3-year experience figure is also framed as 'preferred' rather than a hard minimum; the overall years minimum is set to 3 as the closest stated threshold.
Compensation is described only as 'salary and work year to be established by the Board of Trustees' — no figures are provided.
VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) appears in a collaborative/planning context ('works with System Administrator') rather than as a standalone required skill, so it is marked preferred.
RADIUS is listed with Microsoft NPS (referred to in the posting as 'Microsoft MPS') as the primary named product; RADIUS is used as the canonical skill name with NPS as an alternative.
The role has no supervisory responsibilities and reports to a Director of Technology, consistent with a mid-level individual-contributor network administrator.
