For the past 8 years IT has hired these technicians on a <br /> contract basis for the summer months to perform critical maintenance and preparation for the coming school <br /> year. Because the decision to put these employees on contract often came late in the school year, some made <br /> other plans for summer employment, putting IT in an understaffed position. The most recent year IT spent <br /> $42,000 on this contract work, so the delta between this and full conversion to 12 month employees would only <br /> be $6,448.07. <br /> With the expansion of the support function, the CTO is spending much of his time managing the help ticket <br /> response throughout the district. The reorg proposal includes promoting a Tech II to a Tech III position,whose <br /> increased responsibility would include oversight of the day to day support function. This would focus the <br /> support activities toward greater responsiveness and tighter alignment with district needs,while freeing up the <br /> CTO from that role. This promotion would cost the district $8,423.04. <br /> As the district increasingly faces needs for customized technologies,we find ourselves relying on a Tech II to <br /> 71 <br />
