HARDWARE DONATION GUIDELINES

::
Beyond Economic Repair (BER)
|
|
Due to the
advancement in the marketplace, it is not cost-efficient to repair certain
equipment such as Pentium I/II/III systems and motherboards, monitors, and
many ink-jet printers. If this is the case for your equipment, the
Technology Department will declare the item "beyond economic
repair" (BER), and it will be the responsibility of the campus or
department to replace the item.

Fort
Stockton ISD is appreciative of all help that the local community and
businesses provide us. The District accepts donations of new and
gently-used hardware as long as district hardware standards are maintained.
All equipment must be in good working condition at the time it is donated.
The District reserves the right to accept or reject donations of new or
used hardware. In addition, minimum standards of microprocessor, RAM,
networking hardware, operating system, software, and system maintenance
will be upheld to maintain district hardware standards.
All accepted donated equipment will go to the school
intended by the donor. In the event that the equipment is donated to the
District with no clear indication of a donation site, the Technology
Department will decide placement with advice from the campus principals.
Each school will adopt the following guidelines for
the acceptance of technology donations. All potential donations are to be
evaluated by the technology department. Donations will be evaluated upon
the ability to meet the following criteria and standards:
- Supportive to the technology
plan of the school.
- Appropriate to the mission and purpose
of the local program.
- Appropriate to the developmental level
of the students affected.
- Current equipment and is compatible with
the current and planned platforms at the school.
- Create no unanticipated or excessive
financial burden for the school/program (construction, wiring,
additional equipment, etc.).
- Comply with all tax rules and
regulations governing donations.
- Require limited maintenance.
- Carry no unreasonable restrictions by
the donor.
- Become the property of the recipient.
- Create no unanticipated additional staff
requirements.
- Accepted donations will be acknowledged
in writing.
