Moving costs and teacher reassignments

A few years back, 281 received settlement monies from Microsoft monopoly suit. 281 used some of that to purchase ceiling mounted projectors at Sandburg Middle School. The cost to move these projectors is $1500 each. Add that to the costs to replace toilets at RMS (larger sizes), moving computers to a bigger server, uninstalling/reinstalling of surveillance video cameras and tapes, quickly add up.

Then, there’s the issue of the 2-day window to reassign teachers (the district did not budget for subs). The scheduled reassignment days are testing days.

Perhaps there should have been an outsourced strategic plan to move and disclose the costs.
