Being School District Admin?

Bananatree3 asks: "I am a high schooler in a fairly large school district, and have always wondered what it is like to manage a large school network. What is it like to be a school district admin? What kind of unique things do you have to do that are outside the realm of 'normal' IT departments? When is the most hectic/slow time for you? How big of a network do you manage? Also, do you have any favorite stories about being a school district IT admin?"

Taking Deli meat out of the floppy drives of Apple SE/20's. My friends used to love doing that.

I am a high schooler in a fairly large school district, and have always wondered what it is like to manage a large school network.

"Also, hypothetically speaking, how would someone go about getting in and changing grades? Strictly hypothetically, of course."

I solved that problem pretty easily - put it about 5 folders deep of "Certainly Not a Better Browser", "Look, Just Give Up, There's Nothing Of Interest", etc.

That coupled with the fact that my school district apparently has one, *maybe* two guys for all of the (4) schools, makes pretty much anything possible.
