dumb stuff
My wife was on the advisory committee for a local middle school that's struggling. One winner is that they bought SmartBoards for a bunch of classrooms but didn't get stands for them, so they just mothballed them for a year until they could buy stands with the next year's budget.
- HeyLaughingBoy 11y agoWhat would you have them do? If they're over budget, they're over budget and non-emergencies will have to wait.

- phaus 11y agoThe obvious solution would be to buy fewer smart boards this year, along with the stands, and then buy the rest of the smart boards and stands the next year.
- nmrm2 11y agoSure, obvious. Until you're negotiating price points and you can save X% aggregate by purchasing Y boards at a time, and then figure you're only losing <<< X%*total_cost in depreciation... then it's just as obvious, but you're making a different decision.
