Board says no to Apple purchase Monday, Sep 25, 2006 - 02:25:14 am EDT By GERMAN LOPEZ If the board derails this deal, the computers can be returned, but it's the teachers and students that suffer. Schools are already in session, and the equipment needs to be installed in time for teachers to prepare. The board should have addressed this much sooner, not wait for their usual meetings to make these decisions so late in the game. In their slow and late entry into this deal, the board is typical of too much government involvement in schools. They're trying to micromanage the schools and nickle-and-dime the vendors, ultimately driving up the costs of all these deals. Oversight is one thing, but meddling is another. Someone should be fired or voted out of office over this issue. Unfortunately, it's probably the poor administrators trying to do their jobs that will get canned, again, the students getting the short end.
