<br>
You could appeal it to the department, and if you get no joy you
could make an appeal to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.<br>
<br>
Government departments love that sort of thing.<br>
<br>
Good luck.<br>

<div>Greetings,<br>

<div>I have a situation where my daughter is attending a leading
independent government school and because she is using her own
UNIX (ok, it's a Mac) PC instead of leasing one through the
school, the school won't give her a logon for the shared
drives. These drives are used to pick up and drop off school
work.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>The school's original position was "the Department policy
prevents . .".<br>
<br>
I contacted the Department of Education and received:<br>
<br>
"<span
style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""
lang="EN-US">The development and implementation of SOE
version 4.2 in schools has enabled local decisions to be
made regarding which of these online services are made
available to staff and students. This strategy directly
supports the philosophy of Independent Public Schools and
ensures that Western Australian public schools can be
individual, distinctive and responsive to their local
communities while still benefiting from being part of a
system.</span>"<br>
<br>
</div>
I wonder if anyone is working in a position where they might
cast light on why school IT managers are so parochial in the
21st century? What is it they fear?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
