About a week and a half or so ago I received a packet from the claims
admin from Minneapolis.  I'm guessing it's the same as the one Jeremy
got.  Verify licenses submit corrections etc.  I too am short several
thousand dollars and have 60 days to prove volume licenses were indeed
purchased.  More fun added on top of a building project.

Has anyone seen/heard of the original round of lawsuit money from
Microsoft?  (From all the paperwork we filled out over a year ago) Since
the John O'Conner meeting in November, I haven't heard any noise.  I
wonder if we are better off contacting Steve J. about this...

I heard Spirit Lake got some of theirs approved, but I too have not
heard anything. I was hopeful when Dan told me he had received
something, but since I have again lost all hope. I really despise
lawyers more and more every day. They seem to make life so much more
difficult.

This is the very reason that the technology directors need to be a  
part of the Iowa Core implementation process.  I am going to leave my  
personal opinions about the value of the ICC training aside, but we  
all need to be active in the planning at our buildings.  If you are  
not currently a part of this core group, put yourself in it for  
building and district level planning. I know we all hate meetings  
especially finding more to attend but the ONLY way we will have access  
to the MS money (at least this batch) will be with ICC tie-ins.

Once we know more of what the DE wants on those plans for the Microsoft
money, we will address that.  Until then, we are just planning on doing
it.  Our Curriculum Director is well aware of the money that is
available, but also knows that nothing can be done yet.

We never sent those originally, since the form said we didn't need to.
We listed the vendor and our purchase information on a spreadsheet that
the vendor supplied us.  I figured that would be enough.  Now we are
looking for old PO's and invoices.  What we will do for money!!!
