is that there are thousands and thousands of 'low voltage' lines and things that need to be unplugged and plugged in EVERY DAY! All kinds of little things that you all don't even understand.It's too technical for you.I happen to be very smart.This stuff doesn't just happen! Somebody needs to DO it.You have to be very highly trained.Our pay reflects that.I unplugged the wrong thing once myself!! It's a LOT of work! We don't invoice EVERTHING! But we're busy invoicing it right now, just to make you happy!EVERYTHING,incl.turning on the light switch when we enter a room!We're gonna be like lawyers, now! All you 'experts' in IT need to be in my shoes for ONE day!You'd be so scared. You know what can happen if you unplug the wrong thing? You could lose your internets! THEN where would you be?!!Sure, we aren't cheap, but we are WORTH it! If you lose your internets, you might as well close down the schools! You can't survive without it. Just how much is that worth? $580,000 is NOTHING!Do you even know what will happen if you set up a wireless router wrong? IT WON'T WORK! Do you have ANY idea how far it is to Melbourne? You 'know it all' wannabes make us real experts sick!

Doesn't look like anyone did anything wrong. They were contracted to do a job and they were asked to do more work than the original contract asked for and they were paid accordingly. Nothing against the law in that that I know of. Now if it comes out that they paid a salary to a school board employee then yes that would be something to put on the front page.

Today's companies are now moving toward contracting thier I/T departments because it is cheaper, you have companies that can repair computers over the net and because of a consolidation of talent prepare better Web sites and they can hire a local person to do wire concerns, this saves companies lots of money those that I know about are paying 75% less when they get rid of in house I/T departments. Where this can go wrong is when the managers depend too much on the contractor or has a deal or Kick back which may be the case with MCSD, the college should also think about hiring out the I/T department, ever try to register for a class at FKCC on line, the Web site looks pretty but is hard to get anything done and provides little information.

Just evidence a few more of the self-serving who will get away scott free

Aggressively protecting the assets of the taxpayers who fund every aspect of the school district, along with ridding the system of salaried employees who are corrupt, compromised and ineffective, is the number one priority for Superintendent Burke. So far he has been slow to respond and negligent in his remedies. This credible foundation must be laid, before any serious improvement can be made in student achievement. Our schools should be made good enough, so that even School Board Member Duncan Mathewson, would consider enrolling his children in them.
