Musselburgh Grammar School
Its Monday so it’s back to work. Lots to catch up on and lots to tell the staff here about the conference.
Just before I left for conference last week, I received notice of a meeting on Friday about single status. Personnel from John Muir House are visiting the school to brief staff about the impending single status implementation. Today I looked on our intranet for more information about how East Lothian intend implimenting it and I found the new pay scales that staff will be placed on. Unfortunately there is still no information about which grade the technicians will be placed on.
I had the opportunity whilst at conference to quiz delegates about single status and I must say it seems a mixed bag. In some councils technical support staff have received a better rate of pay than they are currently on whilst regrettably in other councils they have lost quite considerable amounts. Theres quite a few stories in the press about how the different councils are handling single status.
A piece in the Herald describes how a librarian stands to lose £5500. Click here to read it.

I have uploaded some of the videos I took at the national technicians conference I will put up links to them soon. Just to check that it can be done on this blog I took a video of my GLOW mug. Glow is the new name for the Scottish Schools Digital Network and the mentors were given a mug and a pen. If you click on the picture of the mug below you should see it at work.
Sorry Tess I didnt steal the idea, I’d been planning to do it for ages, honest.
