How about paying a competitive rate?

Ultimately, that is the core root of your problem.  

You will never improve your recruiting efforts until you address the compensation issue.

Its the elephant in the room.  And everyone knows it.

 

DT.   Some are not in agreement with you.

Just from the I.T. point of view I understand it.   There are some significant costs in storing Terrabytes and terrabytes of data for years.

I don't know what the yearly cost is, so I can't determine if Hudl is fleecing anyone.  But datacenters are not cheap.

My recommendation would be to archive your films older than a determined time period to local storage.  BE SURE TO BACK THAT STORAGE UP!  You always have your important files in at least two locations.  If you knew the number of my clients that didn't listen to me on the multiple locations point and lost their data you would be amazed.

The problem is that, if I remember correctly, he does everything via Excel spreadsheets.   So there is no logic going on. Just cut and paste.

Put the phone away.  I wish the consequence for anyone under 18 who is caught texting and driving would be to lose their license for 1 year.  I see it in our school parking lot every single day.

Coach.   I see this on the road every day.   I spend a lot of my time driving from client to client.   The number of times I see people, mostly younger, but not always, texting while driving is scary.  I can tell most of the time as from 5 car lengths away is someone is texting while driving.   I get very defensive when I see that.  I pull up next to them, or they me, and it confirms my suspicions.

KEEP THE PHONES PUT AWAY WHILE DRIVING YOUNG PEOPLE!!!!!

Bremen has had drug testing for close to 20 years for anyone that drives or is involved with extracurriculars.

Same at Jimtown.

I am not a government school financing expert.  Please explain in detail how a government education entity can spend $15 million on a primarily extracurricular activities project without increasing taxes.  What educational programs,  facilities maintenance, salaries, positions, etc. are being cut to pay for this boondoggle?

 

Because they can take out GEO Bonds and pay it back over time.  They most likely have debt coming off of their books.  They can get the Bond and keep their tax rate the same.  Now, this negates the fact that they are not decreasing the tax rate as they could.  This is a common practice with Indiana school systems now that the State has required referendums for any capital project over $10M.

Doing it this way protects the educational monies that come to the school systems from the State.   Pretty ingenious way to do it.   Some school systems use if for maintenance, repairs, classroom additions.   Many advantageous ways to take advantage of these bonds.

Here is the gem of the article"

Judge Bernard M. Jones was sympathetic, agreeing with the plaintiffs that the way the game ended was a tragedy. “More tragic, however,” he wrote, “would be for this Court to assert itself in this matter.” To order a replay would be in its own way unfair to the participants in the game:

There is simply no way to fully and completely replicate the events and conditions of the disputed quarterfinal in such a way that would alleviate any and all anxiety or question of fairness. Unfortunately, whether in terms of the weather or field conditions, player fatigue, the actions of the coaches or referees, etc., on the day of the quarterfinal, there is no best way to right this wrong without creating even greater uncertainty or inviting further error.
