Back To School

Unlike at most in-plants, Crews uses the students in his graphic arts classes to help produce these materials. This, he feels, gives them hands-on experience. Though he is the only salaried employee, in the summer he hires three of his best students to work in the shop.

Crews says his in-plant handles 98 percent of the district's printing. About 60 percent of his work is printed in color, with four-color comprising about 5 percent of the total. Short-run copy work is done by teachers in the copy centers located on each campus.
