::
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.
