[CoLoCo] work/ticket tracking software

[David Overcash]

Jim.

The hosting plan to get my software solution (and probably RT too, but I
haven't looked at it) would cost around 5-10$ a month.

If your district has the box to host it on I will set it up and configure it
for you guys for $30/Hour with an expected time being only 3 hours.  Hell,
if it get's me an in with your school for student teaching placement I'll do
it for free.
