Parker,

Nice to meet you at that CC Salon.

Are you familiar with the M-DCPS program?
See http://www.dadeschools.net/employees.asp

Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) is the fourth largest school
district in the United States, with some 367 public schools and 47 charter
schools. Serving an area of over 2,400 square miles, M-DCPS has 345,000
students, 50,000 employees and an annual budget of more than €6bn.
Overview In late 2005, the M-DCPS published a comprehensive five-year IT
Blueprint plan included objectives to encourage student use of technology to
manage their own learning, provide parents with the opportunity to
participate in their children’s education, and* give teachers the tools and
information to maximise their resources*. The plan also aimed to
provide administrators and operations/support staff with the tools and
information needed to make informed decisions, communicate effectively, and
optimally deploy resources.
