HCPS employees-
Based on my minimal research, Microsoft Office 365 costs about a hundred dollars a year per subscription. The county probably gets some kind of deal as an organization but who knows.
There are approximately 4,000 people employed by HCPS.
If my math is correct, that’s $400,000 a year, 2 million over 5 years, not including any extra costs.
Why, ummm… why?? To make things easier? I’m good now, keep your easier, and give me my long-deserved steps!
