Ignoring district policy, Mr. Alper did the following: sold some of the school's out-dated computer parts at a swap meet, took that money and added $20,000 of his own money, got $20,000 of free software from Microsoft, and built an up-to-date computer lab for his students to use. As a reward for his efforts, the district suspended him for five days (or whatever). The AZ Republic, on 11-Feb-99, voiced their opinion on the matter and they agreed with the district's actions.
