Hello again..
Apparently I was misinformed earlier today on the commenting period for
the Section 800 ruling on that Fire Safety office information. I was
called this afternoon and informed that the comment period ends THIS
Friday, NOT last Friday. So, you have another week to comment on the
possible ruling.
Thanks..

Subject: More info. on Section 800 ruling
Hello all:
I have been doing a little research this AM on the Section 800 Fire code
ruling. Unfortunately, the comment window on this has passed, last
Friday being the day. I did speak to two individuals this AM at the
Vermont Fire Safety office and they did indicate that they are
interested in your comments on this ruling. They will still accept
other comments, though they may not be considered under the "official"
comment period.
I have not been able to secure a link or a document that spells out
Section 800. For some reason, this is somehow not available on line.
It is in a "code book" that each electrician has on hand. I searched far
and wide on the NFPA website but could not find Section 800. At any
rate, there are some human resources for questions you might have. All
of these individuals were most accomodating to my questions and were
interested in hearing other comments from the field of education tech
coordinators, so I would urge you to contact them.
Dick Schlieder is the technical person, knows more about the actual law
and how it applies to entities.

If this is of concern to you, I urge you to contact them. I gave them a
heads up as to what the chief concerns may be from this group..
1. Costs associated with schools having to make small changes in
existing computer placement and having to have electricians on hand to
do so.
2. Increasing complexity of permitting issues around this sort of work
at schools.
May be others I am not considering..
Anyways, there you go...hope it helps..
