Middle School Communication

[sturz <sturz@MCS.NET>]

I am the library-media specialist at a fairly large (1100) middle school.
We have a team coordinators council that meets as a group weekly and then
reports back to their teams, which also meet weekly. I am trying to find
the most efficient way to meet with all of these staff members (about 80
people) so that I can keep up to date on their programs. It is difficult to
get to every team meeting, and the team council is a paid stipend (not an
option this year, I'm told).  Right now I meet people in the library, the
lab, the lunchroom, workroom, halls, washrooms, etc. Our network with
e-mail will help to an extent when it becomes available next month.  What
do any of you find to be a successful way to handle this?
