Technology+Budget+Line+Descriptions


 * Technology Budget Line Descriptions**
 * Educational Hardware** – Includes items such as **computers, laptops, LCD projectors, smartboards, VCRs, DVD players, overhead projectors and other items over $2000.00** that are related to the technology field. Technical Services strives to provide 10-15% computer replacement yearly but any information on special computer needs is welcomed. Purchases in this category are eligible for state aid reimbursement.


 * Educational Software** – This state-aided budget consists of software that is renewed yearly as well as any one-time software purchases and / or many web-based applications. Since departments have various needs, please provide as much detail as possible when submitting software requests. A common thought process is to picture software requests that add to the “educational software toolkit” in each building or the district. For example, Microsoft Office is the standard productivity tool used in each building today and as such is considered part of the district educational toolkit.


 * Computer Supplies** – This area covers items such as **toner cartridges, computer keyboards, computer mice, other computer accessories / peripherals, A/V bulbs (including digital projector)**, etc. A general rule is that purchases in this category should all cost under $1000 per item.
