Mannion: Survey of teaches shows great increase of need from teachers. Wireless on Campus will be a great opportunity but will lead to problems too, room 700 has new donated lab, room 150 will be a lab, we have 15 laptop carts when we used to have 3. We have developed a new centralized inventory system.
Anthony: Who has an inventory of everything in the school?
Altin: Who control microphones?
Mannion: CLC
Mannion: Who is the Tiger Team? What is it? How many personnel, how many schools to cover?
Anthony: 17 HS and 17 MS in High Priority District
Perez: Last time we were told by school admin that the people could be allocated from some funds.
Anthony: We need Mannion’s job description and justification for everything.
Altin: Last time with Room 500 was included why can’t we do the same with their positions. If we have a Tiger Team would nt they have to based in LA High permanently?
Anthony: In the Plan it leaves Fred out, we can buy a “Bao” position.
Mannion: Ask $56,000 for each position.
Anthony: What do you do?
Mannion: I manage people; they have more tech skills than I do. I delegate, develop strategies and prioritize.
Altin: His delegation is very efficient
Perez: Mannion keeps teachers informed more then anyone else before. Bulletins everyday, his leadership is outstanding; we need more certificated people to lead those people. Engaging, management and coordinator ship, has made a big difference in the school. He has credibility built on experience.
We see results with students, and the needs of teachers. “We have to defend what we need!”
Anthony: I don’t want to be misunderstood. There has been severe miss management of funds and people’s time. He needs a job description.
Altin: Is there a “job description”?
Anthony: Yes, the district has one.
Perez: If we need to have 2 techs, we need to work on justification.
Altin: Can we do with just Bao and Andrew?
Mannion: We need 2 to replace 2 or things won’t be fixed?
Anthony: have you notice how often Ted is absent? It’s like a part time. If he were early, Do you sill need 2 more people?
Perez: Any motion?
Mannion: Make motion to ask for 2 positions one being Bao.
Doris. Why not a Bao?
Anthony. Because we need to get a person form a list.
Perez. Anything else?
Perez: make a motion to fund 2 Micro Computer Support Assistant. (MCSA)
