<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>

For most of last week, I worked on tackling the work orders in the binder. Most of the work involved computers that were moved around over the summer (settiong up printers, plugging stuff in, getting online).

A side effect of moving things around is that the careful balance established last year for wireless vs. wired computers was disrupted. Ms. Zivko and I have used up half the switches in order to get wired computers back online when before there must have been more network drops.

Meanwhile, having a computer teacher is <em>fantastic</em>. The lab is much more organized now, and gone are the constant complaints that "everything in the lab is broken".

Some more work in the doing include cleaning out the storage room (it's actually possible to walk in it now!) and allocating some new hardware. Ms. Onofrio suggested putting the 10 remaining LCD monitors in the computer lab, though that creates some uniformity issues for the 20 that don't get LCDs...

In the process of cleaning up the hardware, we are looking the disposal of about 30 working 15-17 inch CRT monitors. Can these monitors be relocated to sites that might be able to use them, or does CPS take them directly send them to be disposed?
