Once again I must apologize for the lack of posting over these last two weeks. Its not that there is nothing to write about it is just that I have not been able to truly articulate what has been going on at both schools. I can tell you this, today was actually the first day that I have gotten to work on anything related directly to technology. Most of this summer has been spent on "other issues". Purchasing mostly and a great deal of facilities, building management, and personnel issues have really monopolized my summer. I did get to "ghost" some images today and that was the most fun I've had all summer. Back to the topic at hand, the reason I have been allowed to concentrate on non-technology issues has been my ability to rely on my systems people at both locations. Gary K. has had an extremely productive summer. We have been on a constant upgrade path for the path ten months nonstop. I mean nonstop. I have asked him to do the next to impossible and he has delivered in every area as well as helping to supervise and step in on a multitude of projects that have been going on this summer. I could not have asked for more from him but somehow I feel even if I had he would have delivered whatever I requested. On the Charter side of things John Spencer has always been steady and it's his continual monitoring that has allowed us to smoothly add processes throughout the building. John has designed most of the framework that runs the systems in the building and they are standing the test of time. Aside from some minor adjustments we will continue to utilize the structure that is now in place. We are changing student management systems this year and John's expertise will once again be put to the test in getting things done. As with Gary K. my reliance on Spence has enabled me to concentrate on other technology issues throughout the school that would have otherwise fallen by the wayside. I also have to give credit to my son Jonathan, he has tackled the day to day more mundane tasks of getting new machines built, rebuilding older equipment, and performing the necessary preventitive maintenance that will extend the life of the existing equipment. I would imagine he has garnered approximately a full year's experience in just three short months. The experience in putting the systems together is priceless and if he chooses to continue with this line of work he has a leg up on anyone without the hands on experience.
The rest of the week we will be concentrating on finishing the Middle School at Galloway and putting the finishing touches on the Charter School systems as well. I will be building and distributing furniture the rest of this week at Galloway and next week we will finish all the smaller projects in Galloway and get a handle on most of the loose ends. That will bring us up to September 2nd and we should be able to reach a satisfactory completion ratio of attempts to project done. I will breakdown each of the projects that are close to finishing next post. Till then.
