Thanks for your thoughtful responses. It is really quite amazing how
database driven our schools have become over the past twenty years. It is
also quite amazing (though of course typical) that every independent
school has a different approach to managing these databases. It seems
clear that a full-time database manager/coordinator/facilitator is
becoming a defacto position at many schools, and that making that position
explicit will become more common moving forward. In our case, a
long-serving administrator who developed and maintained many FileMaker
databases will be retiring in a year and we are starting the process of
researching how we will move forward without him.
Should be interesting.
