Bill, Many thanks for that reminder and the bit of history. I hope some of the strong negative reactions we've heard are based on the assumption that the endorsements would apply to anyone touching computers in schools. They do NOT apply to strictly "techie" positions. In our district, even though we have five or six bodies dealing with some level of tech support, I am the only one affected by the proposed endorsements. And I consider that entirely appropriate.
