<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The
principal at my school did receive the grant for upgrades but did not inform me
as technology co-ordinator. He has spent the money on new computers/digital
cameras etc for information technology/ the school in general. His excuse was
that it is 'technology' and it was not specified that it had to be spent on
materials technology. I begged to differ..... to me the ministers media release
was not ambiguous. He also said and anyway now that I have found out it was too
late to apply for any machinery upgrades. The money had to be spent before the
end of the month. He said I could put in a submission for some money but that
it had to be done by Friday and it had to include 3 quotes for each, a written
justification for purchase - how it would improve outcomes for students/which
students would be using it etc. He said that as there is no way it could be
done by Friday then there is no point trying........he doesn't know me at all. <em><i><font
face=Arial><span style='font-family:Arial'>the statement was like showing a red
rag to a bull and this is where I need your help. Can anyone help with ideas
for upgrades lathes etc (we have a wood room, metal, plastic, electronics and
textiles) Can you share quotes or possibly justifications for purchase. I will
of course be spending Monday/Tuesday collecting information but help would be
greatly appreciated.</span></font></i></em></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
