District Administration - February 2008 - (Page 47)

PURCHASING DISTRICT BUYING POWER Purchasing Security Products and Services Fourth of a Series 40 percent of K12 districts planned to purchase security systems and equipment prior to security breaches such as at Virginia Tech. BY ODVARD EGIL DYRLI AS THE MAGAZINE OF EDUCA tion leadership for top-level decision makers in K12 education, District Administration reaches key executives in virtually every school district in the United States, including superintendents, business officers, technology managers, curriculum directors, library/media center directors and funding administrators. No one is better qualified to comment on current district spending than readers of this magazine. Typically District Administration publishes annual spending reports to prowww.DistrictAdministration.com vide insights into school markets, but last year was different since we commissioned the independent research organization Martin Akel & Associates to conduct an extensive buying survey of our readers. Random samples of subscribers were drawn from districts nationwide, and individuals received a questionnaire on purchasing activities and expenditures over a four-year period. Although the information focused on the 2006-2007 year, researchers also compiled trend data for the two preceding years and projections for the two succeeding years.
