| The Technology
Committee of 1992 instituted a policy requiring school personnel to
acquire prior approval before purchasing any computer hardware or
software. The Business Office will not approve payment of an invoice
for hardware of software without the proper approval forms and purchase
orders, completed in the appropriate sequence, attached. Two forms were created for the screening
process.
- The Hardware Request Form and the Software Request Form
were created to assist the purchasers in acquiring the correct product for their need.
- The forms should be filled out by the user and approved by
the campus principal.
- It is then sent to Technology &
Information Services where the staff
evaluates the request to see the product is compatible with the existing hardware and
software.
- If the request passes this screening, the form is approved
by the Director of Technology & Information Services and returned to the user for submission with the P.O. to the Business
Office.
The purpose of this
procedure is to insure computer related purchases meet the current
standards required for the Andrews school system. The forms, by
providing the configuration of hardware and specifications of software,
allow the Technology & Information Services to evaluate the
suitability of the selection.
This process is designed to:
- insure purchasing the best quality for
the price
- certify compatibility with the
district's system
- avoid additional expense in adapting a
"home computer" for classroom and business operations
- confirm serviceability
