That's what management is all about. We are trying to get the LCS project up and running, but my office is working on dumb terminals. I am on the Implementation Steering Team, and several members of my staff are on workflow teams. We will need to be able to access the LCS in January, and probably several other programs before that. The computer system is the heart of my office.
Nothing happens without it.
If we are slowed down in our ability to make the transition to the new system, our students will be the losers. We are trying to find new ways to reduce the red tape in a very complicated process, and the functionality of the LCS is critical to moving to the next level. I have at least 3 people who need new equipment as soon as possible, and the rest need it by the first of the year. I am willing to do the work myself, if that is what it takes. We have no software to convert, but we need to be able to connect into the network.
