[MACEP] School districts - Do you have a dedicated web designer/developer on staff?

[Richard Adams]

At Pleasant Hill School District, we contracted with a local webpage 
designer/hoster for creating a new version of our website (which I 
designed, starting in 1995), since my website was not "modern enough".  
So, HeroWeb designed a site with what they considered important.  I 
suppose it's efficient, but I have trouble, at times, maintaining a site 
that's NOT WYSIWYG in nature.  I "fill in boxes" that the site then puts 
where IT wants it to go with ITS formatting.  Grumble Grumble.  They pay 
me for two hours a day to maintain the website, posting things 
principals and others send to me from the two schools.  For the other 
six hours of the school day, I volunteer my services to help teachers in 
the classes I've taught over the last 47 years: chemistry, physics, 
photography, world history, Latin, German, Italian, and calligraphy.  
Or, I'm available as a Very Last Minute Substitute when the sub who was 
SUPPOSED to arrive, has not.   I've often taught the students' 
GRANDPARENTS and I've been accused of being a vampire (very white skin, 
and the picture of me in their grandparents yearbook looks the same).
