“Xippa says these guys get it! Lets look at all the expenses including copiers when we make hard decisions regarding classroom funding cuts”.

Here's the money sentence at the story about who are the "guys that get it" at the Atmore Advance in California.

Byrd added that he pays about $600 per month for the lease agreements for three copiers, which is nearly $8,000 per year. He said he wouldn’t be surprised if he has to cut down to one copier for the entire faculty.

I wonder how many teachers they could save if they could tap the textbook money. Plus the copier folks don't have to take the hit because clickable print to do a better job than textbooks needs MFPs and copiers, intelligently deployed.

The only ones that really get hurt are the textbooks folks. But they've had great margins for a long time. It's time for them to share.

Full disclosure : No interest in Xippa.
