IT Refresh 2011-12

Final date to turn in IT Refresh Requests: February 15th, 2012.

The IT Refresh Program, now in its seventh formal year, provides the District over 1000 computers per year, as well as a number of printers, and digital projection equipment. Because the goal of IT Refresh is to get updated technology in the hands of staff and students, the deadline for submission of Refresh orders is earlier than in past years.

Please note, teacher machines that were purchased as part of the eSIS roll out 5+ years ago, are now out of warranty.  Snow-white iMacs and all CTL Desktops are out of warranty. Please verify every teacher in your building has an up-to-date, under warranty machine. "Under warranty" would be any machine purchased in the last 3 years. In addition, many schools successfully enhanced their ability to integrate technology into the curriculum, enabling both teachers and students to tap resources previously not available.
