  Hi. I'm from the public school district in Calgary AB. Approx 100,000 students in 210+ schools.
  
  Top pressures are:
  1. Providing flexible platforms to support new learning models
  2. Growing technology footprint
  3. Growing complexity (connectivity, applications)
  4. Growing demand
  5. External competition for skilled technical staff
  6. Same resources (staff levels)

  The issues you list are all of concern to us as well.
  
  My list of issues, from the viewpoint of school administrators, is described in a blog post at http://www.edtechforest.com/2008/12/pressing-issues-for-schools.html
  
  Key points:
  
  1.) Vision and planning
  2.) Communication
  3.) Professional development
  4.) Administrative competence
  5.) Sufficiency of technology support with limited resources
  
  I am from the separate district in Calgary AB, approx 44,000 students.
