Re: Tech Coordinator

Hi.

Firstly. Kevin. I'm sad to hear that you had such a bad time and it's unfortunate that you left the IT field as it sounds like you had the commitment and drive to do a professional job with limited resources.

secondly. Everyone. Please forgive me for going off topic. Can anyone one please explain what is meant by 'non-profit school district'. I first took it to mean similar to state run schools here in the UK. Then I thought it may be like a collection of academy schools run by a charity. Are my guesses any where near the mark?

Kind regards

'Mount Doom' rumbling ominously

Re: Theories about why this is happening

"The variety of terrain is amazing: native forest leading to alpine tundra, with hot pools and sulphurous fumaroles. Then rocky and rather moon like around Ngaruahoe before more lush forest around Ruapehu with river gorges to keep things interesting."
