Steve Turner advocates for Technology Engineer for AC Schools 2015-02-24 - 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Technology Director Steve Turner advocated for a District Technology Engineer for the Adair County School District, and received unanimous approval for the new position. A salary schedule, also unanimously approved sets a minimum $30,000 per year salary schedule, with experience steps, and certification levels increases. Technology is quickly becoming a major necessity. Supt. Reed noted that the use of hand held devices has rapidly increased in the past few years, placing a new level of stress on the system. Mr. Turner cited problems in the Ag building, badly underserved - but not corrected - as one situation a District Technology Engineer would have quickly found. Presently, two technology technicians, Technology Technician Jason Rector and Technology Technician Assistant Trey Grider, work on a "Break & Fix" protocol. Something breaks, they fix it. The Technology Engineer would be a planning and prevention position, anticipating problems before the system breaks down. The position will be posted soon, with the District Technology Engineer, with the aim of having her or him in office by July 1, 2015.
