Not cool what they want to do. Here is how we do it in our
district.

There is a Web Master who builds and maintains the district
site. Each school has a web master who is responsible for each
school's site...that be me at my school. I have a class where
we maintain and actually rebuilt the school's site. The
district Web Master provides support to each school's web
master as needed.

I am in the process of creating another site for the students
at my hs. It will be on private servers, but built and
maintained by the students and will have a forum.

I also have a site where I post all of my material. See the
home link. They tried to get me to roll it over onto the
district's servers and I said "hell no." They kept pushing and
then I said: "you know I have some material that I have pulled
off of other sites and I would hate to see the district get
sued." Nobody will sue a nobody like me, but anybody will try
to sue a somebody. They now leave me alone. I really have not
violated any copyright laws, but they do not know that. I have
paid some sites out of pocket for the courtesy of letting me
use their material. I always ask for permission before using
anyone's work and I have never been denied. Most of the time
the author's are flattered by the request.

Good luck. You are in the right here...big time.
