Items That Need to Be Approved by Technology Services

Question: "What technology items need to be approved by the District Technology Department prior to purchase?"

Answer: Technology items needing approval are any items: designed to run on or work with an existing computer, electronic device, or connection to the district/site computer or telephone networks.  This includes any item attached to (internally, externally, or wireless) or installed on (i.e., all software) an existing piece of network equipment or end-user device.  

All technology items must be approved before any purchase (including employee reimbursements, credit card purchases, online orders, purchases made on existing open POs, ASB POs, etc.) regardless of the funding source.  Purchasing from this list allows expedient processing of your requisitions since it will not require secondary review/approval by the Technology Services Director; however, regardless of whether an item is on this list, all technology purchases must go through Technology Services.
