__**Importance of Tech Requests** __ The district has been discussing the importance of documenting the Tech Assistant/Specialist's (Robert's) work flow for the past several years, current numbers of Tech Requests show some techs are receiving less than ¼ of a Tech Request per day. __We ALL know Robert is MUCH busier than that!!!__ Submitting a Tech Request was made a __**mandatory requirement**__ several months ago for the school’s benefit. Please realize if Robert receives less than one ticket per day, he has a unique position that is unimaginable in the world of educational technology.
