And you'll need to be there to answer questions. Pretty soon you realize it's a full-time job just managing the network you worked so hard to build. A useful analogy can be drawn to the support of a fleet of school buses. When districts first started using buses, they realized that they would need a budget, facilities, mechanical support, drivers, and often a manager to keep the bus system working. Networks are no different.
Network management is a full-time job.
Models for Network Support Network-support staffing is one of the greatest challenges facing schools. Many creative staffing models have been used by schools to meet this challenge. Most schools that will have networks with more than 100 users will need to adopt one of these models. The number of hours teachers have is limited, and user support is probably not the best use of those hours. Accordingly, many schools choose to hire nonteaching staff to support the network.
