Makes me feel rich, having all this support. If only they still didn't feel so overwhelmed nonetheless. FYI, our Instructional Support budget is fluid - nothing spent on desktop hardware unless it breaks - servers and infrastructure furst, which is bleeding us over time. Desktops beginning to break regularly. What I ask for is $200,000.00/year so we can begin a lease program. But they haven't taken the bait thus far. What I get is about 1/10 of that, and only as things break. (Please keep this part private if you don't mind.) I got that number by taking the total # of computers, ball-parked at $1000.00 each, split by 3, added in a year for servers and printers and software to do a four-year cycle. I think it's do-able. But the roof leaks, etc. so I wait.

I am meeting with the finance committee for our school and we will be talking over budgets and i was interested in knowing what the ball park figure was for other schools so that i could have something to go by.
