Re: [info-tech] software purchasing
Since our Principal and Supt have no idea about software. All purchases come thru me. I then discuss with the teacher the purpose and use of the software. When it really comes down to it, I usually make the final judgement. I do inform the staff that most request need to be in to me before the end of march for budgeting reasons. If they want to use their own budgets that is fine, but I still have finally say and what gets installed on their computers or to my network. You can call me a control freak, but I think most of you understand. The staff is very good about including me now most of the time! Thanks, Jon W.

Generally, district productivity software, such as Office, Publisher, Acrobat, etc. are paid out of my technology funds. Teacher requests for specific grade level or department level software comes from their budget. If it is expensive or will cover several dept or grades, I make an exception.Regardless, teachers must complete an official requisition, submit it to the Principal and then to me. I will then have a conversation with the teachers about the purpose of the software and how it fixes into instruction. I had one teacher who wanted to purchase 25 copies of a program at $100 each to do a one day supplimental activity for her class. She thought that I should buy it. She thought differently when she found out it was coming out of her budget. I suggested that she purchase one copy, use a data projector and do it as a class activity.John KidneyWebster City -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Pendry, Charlton Sent: Tue 9/6/2005 1:55 PM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Cc: Subject: [info-tech] software purchasing[Scanned] How do you guys handle requests from individual teachers for software purchases?
