--- TIC-TECH message:
Has anyone actually received computers from the 5:1 Computer to Student
ratio from the last Tech Levy? If so, are there any exceptions to the
count of the computers that are already in the school? Computers bought
from strange budjets, like Challenge grants? Or Academies?
It's been done before, schools that forged ahead on their own being
penalized for it. It appears that Ingraham may well already have the 5:1
ratio from a lot of hard work on our part. If we had done nothing, we
would be receiving 182 computers.
What really bothers me is that the donated computers (40% of the computers
given to a school by the district and 100% of Ingraham's supply) will NOT
be supported by the district. So, a few years down the road, the schools
that went out on their own and got computers for their students' use will
have few working computers and schools that originally didn't go out and
get any computers on their own will have the most and the best computers
around.
