The in-plant starts off the school year with an “operating budget” of $348,000. “That’s seed money,” says Griffin. “We use it to expand our services, and with the chargeback system by the end of the year it goes back to the district.”

Recently, the in-plant has been using that system to support some major upgrades: computer-to-plate equipment and a Xerox iGen3 digital press.
