I think it is great that our district is expanding upon our technology. Clearly, a discussion regarding the direction of our technology program should occur between our school committee and superintendent to determine what our future technology expenditures should be. While I appreciate that our school committee is questioning "a plan", this appears to be a decision that impacts the day-to-day operation of our schools and some are now mandated through the IEP process. It is my understanding that the school committee is responsible for the determination of a budget and their expenditures but the day-to-day spending is the responsibility of the building principals with oversight of our superintendent. While I thank the school committee members for thinking about the "big picture", I hope that the committee continues to remember that their role is not to micro-manage the district or determine the day-to-day spending within our schools.
