Given the important of technology in growth of the organization and the challenges Clarion school is facing, I recommend that the priority of the board is to quickly create an IS department. Young and Baker could do the basic job of maintaining the system, however, they are overwhelm with their main job. In addition, Young do not have computer background and expertise in planning the IS system. Having a specialized IS person put under the supervisor of Young could free him from doing daily report requesting and concentrate on management. It is the mandatory that Clarion has system person to accessing the effective of IS system or even modified the application to make it work for their business model.
