But across my school I have about 10 Nings and affording $100.00 a month
isn't that easy for us. It will all depend on the pricing structure. Plus,
my 2010-11 budget was decided in November. It is a little late for me to be
asking for an additional $1200. That will probably mean going a year withou=
t
Ning (assuming it gets approved for 2011 -12).
I'm still waiting to see what happens. I have yet to receive any formal
notification from Ning.
