    That’s incredible.

    Then again, school IT jobs are often given to “my nephew who is good with computers”, because the pay is often half compared to the private sector.

      One teacher told us that once an IT technician at our school built the network, connecting 2 school institutions with ~7 buildings using only hubs. That network was apparently almost unusably slow, which isn’t surprising.

        My brother works for a school with 200 kids PreK-12. He’s a teacher, but he also does IT. He gets a $500/yr stipend, and he calls me at least twice a week with basic questions that are solved 95% of the time by rebooting the computer.

        I’ve told him a number of times the district owes me that stipend lol
