Handing over a school to a new provider

[talksr]

Hi, I have been providing technical and consultancy to a number of schools in a borough, and it is with regret that I have had to let one go as they needed more time and help than I was able to offer them (it's good to be popular). We are leaving on good terms, and I would really like to provide them with a guide on where I feel they should be moving with their ICT. I would like to pass this document on to their SMT, ICT Coordinator and the company who are coming in to replace me.

 

Has anyone ever typed up such a document, and if so, does anyone have any suggestions for what I could call it?

 

My guide contains short bullet points like, moving to managed wireless with a short few sentences on who they should maybe consider using, where to place their controllers etc etc.

Things like, computers which I feel could have their lifes extending with more ram.

 

Any help would be great, have been with the place for four years and I really want to make sure they continue to move forward and don't roll backwards. Not sure what the new company will be like, but the guy I met seems quite knowledgeable which is a good start.

When our new Head joined us two years ago, I gave him this to summarise both where we've been and where I think we should be going. Kind of the opposite way round from your situation but the style of it may be relevant.

Thank you, that is very helpful

If you have not been tasked with creating one, then id be fishing out whatever they gave you when you started and freshen it up a little.

If you started from scratch then put together all the required credentials and essentials so that there is at least a clue as to how it works. If they have not paid you, or given you the time to create anything to hand over I don't think I would feel too bad about it.

Offer an hourly session, at whatever cost you think you deserve, to answer any questions to allow a smooth handover. If they don't want to then walk away happy.

 

Thank you for your input. No they didn't ever give me any documents, I am going to try and find some time for them, but as you said, won't feel too bad if I don't get round to completely doing it as I have not been given any time to do it.
