[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When your first instinct is to assume an asst superintendent is wrong and you have the right answer, that's inexperience. [/quote]

When your first instinct is "'comparable laptop' is an odd way of phrasing that', 
and your second instinct is to actually look at prices and policies on things like cloud storage, 
and your third instinct is to look at what other school systems are doing, 
and your fourth instinct is to put all that together

It's pretty reasonable to apply Occam's razor and conclude that the Assistant superintendent is either a) ignorant of the actual prices, policies, and values of competing products, or b) using deliberately veiled language to prevent an unfavorable comparison.

HOWEVER, if someone lays out that thinking for you, and YOUR first instinct is to compress all of that detail into a simple narrative of "you're making assumptions!", perhaps it is you who should be asking why defending APS in the face of actual evidence is your first instinct.  [/quote]

We don’t buy laptops from Best Buy. They are purchased/leased with special educational use warranties and anticipated repair/replacement expenses built into the price. The assistant superintendent participated in the procurement, evaluated bids, and negotiated service level agreements with the vendor. But sure, you probably know more about it. [/quote]
