Technology Purchasing Guidance

PLEASE NOTE: Regardless of what funds you use, technology purchases for hardware (PCs, laptops, printers, etc.) and software must have ET Services' approval and follow these guidelines. Technology purchases for consumables (e.g., toner, ink) or simple external storage devices (e.g., thumb drives, CDs, DVDs, diskettes, memory cards, and digital cameras) do not need to be approved by ET Services unless you are purchasing these items with State Teacher Technology, E-Rate, or System Technology funds.

Also note, that any computer or tablet (ipad for example) that is purchased should be shipped to the Ed Tech department for introduction into the inventory system, and for device setup. Upon completion of the setup the device(s) will be delivered to the appropriate school/location by Ed Tech. Ship To address is:
