Looking for FOSS schools in Colorado

[mlb at imparisystems.com]

You might want to try some of the education lists such as
ISED-L at LISTSERV.SYR.EDU.

I've been marketing to K12 to bring FOSS to their schools for about two
years and find that it's a hard sell.  I've moved over to selling to
business, which is picking up on FOSS simply because it makes so much
financial sense.  I know a lot of schools refuse to bring in FOSS because
"that's not what business is using" - but it's changing now.  Hopefully a
few will see that it's better to teach the concepts than a package - good
luck and let me know what you find.
