School Board Meeting

UPDATE 8-18-2006: From an interested reader (Don M) regarding last night’s meeting. 

At the BOE meeting tonight there wasn’t much said about this when the subject was brought up. 73-100% (depending on the high school) of the schedules are now completed. There has been staff overtime for data clerks & registrars but no mention of how much it costs. It was brought up that this SIMS was the low cost option. A “real” system normally costs in the $7-14 million range. Your local high school might need some help stuffing the envelopes so students can get the schedules the middle of next week. School officials are meeting with Pearson/Chancery officials next week.
