Our district would be revolting if we had those kinds of logon times. -----Original Message----- From: tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org [mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org] On Behalf Of Chris Janssen Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 10:30 AM To: tech-geeks@tech-geeks.org Subject: Re: [tech-geeks] Job Opening - Dir of Tech
I think it would be a fun challenge. I'd be curious as to what they are willing to commit with funds, what their expectations are, and what support they are willing to provide. I can do a lot on a network with duct tape and baling wire so to speak, but have to have full support in what I'm trying to accomplish. Truth be known I'm close enough, but am tied into a contract so I'm gonna have to pass, but could be fun to try!

The techs are all union so the tech director can't touch the equipment? That's the scariest part. Does that budget figure include the salaries or are salaries separate. If salaries are separate, you can get creative and make it work. I manage on $25,000 a year or less depending on what my REAP grant is and whether Congress continues to fund it. You just have to find and use available resources that provide things for free. There is absolutely no reason that those techs shouldn't be visiting Rock Island arsenal on a regular basis to take advantage of what the Army is rotating out of service. There's some pretty nice two and three-year-old equipment available. All it takes is someone to fill out the paperwork and watch the website. That login thing is a bit worrisome. I had 9 year old Celeron 600s with 64 MB RAM that didn't take 20 minutes to login, even when we were a Novell Network. Something definitely ain't correct there. It does sound like a challenge and it would be a blast to give it a shot - if I lived closer. -----Original Message----- From: tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org [mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org] On Behalf Of Mike Oliveri Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 7:08 PM To: Tech-Geeks Mailing List Subject: Re: [tech-geeks] Job Opening - Dir of Tech That's what I'm thinking.

From the technical side (outside of the tech plan etc) it sure would be challenging to try and get that system fixed back up right. Sounds like the infrastructure is there though. > > -Heath Henderson > > On Oct 20, 2010, at 5:07 PM, Jason Livezey <jlive...@nlsd122.org> wrote: > >> It is going to be really hard for a Director if he or she can't touch anything. I have to manage things on a daily basis just so I can make an educated decision about what I need and who is going to manage it. Obviously something is seriously wrong with their setup if they have login times of 20+ minutes. That basically means those machines are useless... >> >> You would have to go backwards before you could go forward. With that current budget you could only spend about $7500K a building if you divided equally. With a district that big a budget like that for tech is just bad. >> >> Talk about setting up for failure... >> >> JL >> >> On Oct 20, 2010, at 3:47 PM, Delawder, Scott wrote: >> >>> Union District means no Hands on for the Director >> >> Jason Livezey >> Director of Technology >> New Lenox School District #122 >> Cell: 815.693.9338 >> >> ACMT Certified >> >> >> >> >> | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org | > | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org | | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org | | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org | | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org | ________________________________ This electronic mail is copyrighted by Community Unit School District #205, Galesburg, Illinois USA.
