hero ;-)

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.

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?

does the same. They've got their big offices downtown and
