In the hopes of moving toward a technologically progressive high school, our district is considering purchasing netbooks for students and eliminating textbooks. Our district does not charge school fees. Any suggestions on ways to insure that students do not damage or replace the netbooks. Is there legal precdent to charge for the supply of netbooks. Also suggestions on website regulation and curb of cheating?

jr high teaming
i am looking into creative ways to team a 7-8 building with less money. bottom line is that we will have to cut staffing to operation new buildings and we will be looking at 15 teacher per grade with about 800 students. if anyone has a 8 or 9 period day with teaming and could share that or responses about the systems i would be very appreciated. I am also interested in someone who has eliminated teaming and made it work with a high school schedule.

Principal’s Office Discussion Forum
Welcome to The Principal’s Office Blog! We have moved from the Open Forum to a blog format for discussion, which should make it easier to find and read currently discussed topics. This new format will make it much simpler to scan quickly through topics without having to rely only on a subject heading. Also, comments and discussion occur in the comments section for each topic; comments open in a new window, which allows you to look at the main topic and other responses while adding your own insight.
If you have topics you want add for new discussion, you can request to be added as an author or contributor to the blog, send your topic information to one of the current authors (listed on the right-hand column of the main blog page), or send an e-mail with your blog topic (or comments/suggestions for the new format) to the blog administrator at principalsoffice@gmail.com. You can also request to be added as an author by sending an e-mail to the same address.
You do not need to have a Google account to post comments on an existing post. If you wish to become an author/contributor, however, you will need to have a Google account in order to complete registration as an author. You can sign up for a free Google account at http://www.gmail.com/, and clicking the “Sign up for Gmail” link in the lower-right corner.
