might be a union deal that login times are 30-40 minutes

So it basically sounds like 80-90K a year to do nothing. Ha!
It would be interesting to see what kind of skill set the techs
have, and how bad the network config is.

upset the union. good luck to anyone who wishes to truck down this
path.

Delawder,
I remember back in a former life....being a supervisor in a factory.
All my floor personnel was union....and I wasn't of course. While I
could go on and on about what I know of that experience, I'll just
say that I was less than happy several times when I would go to do
some labor because a person was sick. The politics of that whole
situation superimposed onto the politics already manifested for a
Director who DOESN'T have to deal with union subordinates, screams
Rolaids. Does the benefit package have some sort of comprehensive
care/life insurance for stress related illnesses, mental or
physical, that is sure to take the Director down?
I guess if that budget is all the district can do for their
technology, the new courageous soul taking on that load of a
position should be allowed to enlist the most diligent and creative
grant writer that would find some tech funds for that budget to
upgrade that heaping pile of a collision domain. While I believe
that throwing money at something doesn't necessarily always fix
it....$300,000 a year for a tech budget of a school that size with
the problems it has.............- WOW! Isn't that like an early/mid
90's budget?

I'm wondering if they're talking to Cat. State Farm gives out old
equipment in Bloomington, so I'm wondering if Cat does the same.
They've got their big offices downtown and facilities all over the
area.
