We use Joomla. The principals write their own articles for their
"pages". The Sup't writes articles for the "front page". I rarely
write any articles anymore. I only get involved when they want me to
fix some formatting or something.
The BOE stuff is posted as PDF files by a secretary in the unit
office. Lunch menus are posted by building secretaries.
Quoting "Michael T. Bendorf" <bendo...@a-ccentral.us>:
The sup't wants ideas how to better keep our district website fresh/current
and what workflows work.
Currently I am the only person that updates the site save for
the secretaries posting daily announcements.
Everyone else emails me with what they need updated: lunch menu, newsletter,
vacancies, BoE agendas and minutes are the common things (once a month
though.) Occasionally I will get a piece of news to put on the front page,
or a request for a weblink etc. I also put up a transcript of any voice
broadcast.
Things tend to change every one-to-two weeks. I am very comfortable in
regards to technically making things happen, but I do not take the time to
generate copy nor do I seem to have much graphic design interest. I guess I
know when something looks bad, but I have never thought I was too good at
coming up with creative new ways to display things after I find something
that works.
We have incorporated more things each school year - this year we have a few
useful Google calendars embedded, and I am not sure just what the sup't has
in mind, but if anyone out there is doing anything "cool" to keep their
site relevant and not just a knowledge bank of useful district information
and regularly scheduled data outlet let me know what you are doing and
how/who makes it happen.

"I'm trying to teach myself to ask the same questions that you do during
your lectures so that I do not need you any more."
A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for
others.

flow of money into bad defacto standards for unsophisticated buyers using
poor adaptations of incomplete ideas."
