Joomla here All staff assigned as "author" Admins are designated as "publishers" Anyone can add content. Admin, as publisher, must approve before it becomes publically viewable. Admins handle most of the content for the front page of their respective buildings. A teacher has been designated & given some release time, at the HS for handling this task. I've got a BLOGS section for each building and all are encouraged to contribute. This version of our site has only been on-line for a couple of weeks & we don't have a lot of teachers participating yet. It takes minimal training to show teachers how to add content. We have a very active "Healthy Schools" committee. I am a member & add content for this section. Other than that, I have a minimal role in content creation.
>>> <hay...@sages.us> 10/6/2010 8:49 AM >>> 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.
