School System Administrator. Questions about the features of the work of the incoming system administrator?

Question

System administration

Good day.
I'm offered a job as an incoming system administrator at a school. I myself graduated from this particular school, in the course of training I constantly helped to set up computers or a network for grades just like that. Now he entered the university, and the school administration is already calling to work, so to speak, officially.
In this regard, I would like to receive answers to some questions and questions as answers are received:
What are the features of the work of a system administrator at school? Has anyone worked or is working in this position?
How to get a job as a sisdamin in school from the point of view of the legislation of the Russian Federation?
What is the best way to report on progress and collect applications?
Which method of remuneration is better to adhere to: piecework or salary?
What salary should be asked for and how is it calculated?
I would like to see detailed answers, of course, as far as possible.

Answer 1

I have been working as an admin at the school for more than 3 years. I will make a reservation right away at the school there is neither a place nor a position of a System Administrator in the state. I'll start with the fact that the school in labor law works according to the law and there is no profession in the classifier of professions System administrator. At the time when I got a job at school, I was already working at my main job and was an Engineer. The school was accepted under a part-time contract also for the position of Engineer.
From the features of the work, initially everything came to enikeyism. But since there is a main job, I appear at school no more than 3 times a week after 18:00 in the evening, I stay in different ways from one hour to the night, it all depends on the number of applications. Applications are written in a notebook and left near the school “server”, I wanted to accustom them to electronic correspondence using an ordinary blog, but failed. After the transfer of the school completely to Linux, I began to administer with Work on ssh.
Payment: it all depends on the director, as he says so it will be. As an additional stable income of 6 tr, it is quite suitable for pocket expenses without touching the family budget. The official RFP comes to the plastic card 2 times a month on the 8th of the main part and on the 18th - 19th advance payment.
From the work that has been done in three years:
1. wired network throughout the school 3 floors
2. Linux throughout the school about 40 machines, but except for accounting (well, you understand :))
3. Server, file share, content filter, Nat, dns, dhcp, intraschool blog.
4. About 6 interactive whiteboards have been transferred to Linux.
If something else is interesting write to PM.

Answer 2

It is unlikely that you will be hired for the position of a system administrator - but for the position of a technician with a min salary, it’s quite.
If the school uses non-licensed software, then you will be the first to go under the article - this is for your information.

Answer 3

Well, what kind of children have gone now, I remember when I was learning to administer the network myself, I remember how I learned to crimp the cable, the old network on coke peer-to-peer with terminators, the installation of Pirant Windows 98.

Answer 4

Of the features - more work during the lessons. After - only if they did not have time to automate something.
They may ask to replace the teacher of computer science.
Employment usually goes to the position of "technician" or "laboratory assistant".
According to the method of payment - they only offered me a salary.
I can’t tell you about applications and salaries - I myself worked from grade 11 to grade 2, then I took what they offer :)

Answer 5

According to my previous experience:
1. As for the laboratory assistant / technician / engineer - true. In some cases (usually not in schools and for permanent employees), the position of head of the laboratory or head of a structural unit is possible. In this scenario, as a rule, an agreement on full liability is added with a bunch of papers, annual inventories, acceptance / write-off, etc.
2. On remuneration - now the so-called new system of remuneration of educators is coming into "fashion". The salary in this system consists of two parts - basic and stimulating. I did not encounter it myself (I managed to change jobs), but, according to former colleagues, the most deserving workers in this system lost their salaries. The incoming administrator, in principle, can conclude not a labor, but a civil law contract for the performance of specific work with contractual payment (if only the budget would give money under the relevant items, and not put these works up for auction). But about, for example, sick leave in this situation, you can immediately forget, as well as about big money (amounts over 100 sput per quarter should already be put up for auction). It is also possible to earn extra money at the request of the school staff and their friends/acquaintances/relatives.
3. Issues of application collection and reporting are highly dependent on local circumstances. I sat in place all the time and received information by phone, sometimes going to the place; I took into account the work in a banal Excel table, wrote reports on demand. In another office (large, not a school), employees wrote applications to technical specialists on special forms and handed over these pieces of paper to the so-called operational department. The specialist came to this department every day in the morning, took applications, worked them out during the day and noted the completion of the employees, after which he handed over the application to the authorities (they were already reporting). A similar system was used in our country, only in relation to carpenters / electricians / plumbers (the watch had a journal where teachers and staff made applications).

Answer 6

Salary + incentive part.
At first he was a laboratory assistant, more than 30 computers appeared - he became a technician.
Salary as agreed, but also depends on the city. I have, for example, about 10000-11000.
Features in the low qualification of teachers. Well, if they know how to print. Well, children - they climb into all the places where they can. If you do not automate the work, then changed file associations and all sorts of garbage instead of wallpapers are provided.
Ask if anything.

Answer 7

and if on all the PCs where the students are sitting, make the user profile not a user but a guest, then after turning off the PC or logging out of the system, all files and the browser cache will be deleted.

Answer 8

Vladimir, I will answer your questions as follows.
1. As the topic of using open source software in schools went, two solutions were chosen, the first one was to buy at the expense of school resources Windows, which is not enough for schools, since it still needs an office antivirus finereader (optional), winrar archiver, since it was more convenient for everyone to use + a lot of additional programs for which not everything is easy in licensing.
The second option is to switch to Linux, which has everything out of the box. Here it was done this way, since it doesn’t matter to me which
distribution kit to set up for the judgment of teachers, 3 laptops with different distribution kits were taken out.
1. Alt Linux school - my opinion is complete shit - the opinion of teachers "oh how funny everything looks here" :)
2. edUbuntu 10.10 at the time - my opinion is the system is good - the opinion of the teachers is “well, at least something is normal”
3. OpenSUSE with Gnome and with KDE - my opinion I SUSE is my main working system, but Gnome is not so user-friendly there , and KDE is too heavy for the current fleet.
It was decided to transfer all the same to edUbuntu. With a creaking soul and shaking the nervous system of teachers, a transition took place.
2. Interactive whiteboards. The manufacturer's website has distributions for all of the listed systems, moreover, the first interactive whiteboard included a license key for the Notebook program, which is still relevant from version to version. All interactive whiteboards work fine on Linux with one "but" - on kernel 2.3 ... 3, the kernel is not officially supported.
We are the first school in the city that switched to free software with almost no problems, and the director is very pleased with this.

Answer 9

Regarding the antivirus - AVG will not work. From License >> Therefore, the corresponding license is provided for home use only. Microsoft said the same thing about MS Essentials.
In general, our bosses have been sending us keys for free for the second year now for Kaspersky antivirus.
