The legals there are a quagmire and to get them to endorse anything would likely be an exercise in futility. I know APS would not endorse the work of any vendor (it's in the contract terms) and DeKalb county schools prohibits the vendor for publicly admitting any type of business relationship between school system and vendor with out prior permission. Private schools are different and of course self-regulated. Charter schools will sometimes fall under the purvey of the school district rules and sometimes they have latitudes not granted other schools. At best a reference could be obtained to verify that company X did install Y systems. Just as the quality of employment can't be discussed only the dates, title(s) and pay rate(s) for employment, I suspect that even references from school officials, staff, and teachers will be limited at best. Now parents of school kids are not constrained by the district rules and should already be involved in many cases. They would be good candidates for referrals. -- James P.
