Guidelines+for+Fiscal+Responsibility


 * Guidelines for Fiscal Responsibility**

The Hyde Park Central School District is dedicated to providing the latest technology tools to the students and staff with the ultimate goal of improved student achievement. At the same time, the district must be fiscally responsible.


 * Minimize overtime and personnel costs associated with data entry duplication with the integration of multiple data systems
 * Evaluate and replace equipment according to total cost of ownership. Hardware that is too costly to repair or maintain will be replaced with more cost effective and efficient hardware. In technology, this usually equates to new equipment that is more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
 * The district has issued a policy requesting that all technology hardware be turned off at the conclusion of each school day to conserve energy. Computers will be set to go into a low power mode when not in use to ensure continued conservation throughout the day.
 * The district phone system will be evaluated by outside consultants to maximize cost savings per call and better utilize resources.
 * The district cell phone bills will be audited to ensure district staff are in compliance and are following proper cell phone use guidelines.
 * Efforts will be made to constantly evaluate district technology systems and adjust as necessary to maximize investment.
