Moving away from CLEO

@Bart

As you can see - you face an uphill struggle against "the system".

 

What you need to do is to make a case to your SMT about the benefits vs the downsides and see if they will back you in your bid to change.

 

If they seem keen to do so, you'll need to point out the wave of hostility and pressure that will descend upon the school.

 

Now, you can decide (in private) whether you'll (ie. the school) bow to the pressure - both political and financial (but secure a better deal e.g unfiltered access) or whether you are in for the big fight and willing and able to see it through to the end.

 

As a long time rebel against central control (I used to be wicked and run a WfWG LAN on my "edge site" in a previous job a long time ago when these were verboten by IT Services ) I wish you success but I'll put money on it that you won't get the backing you'll need from your SMT
