Purchasing

Welcome to the Technology Purchasing Guidelines. Please review the following information to ensure your technology purchases align with district processes and policies.

Technology Services Purchasing Process

• Mandatory use of the Technology Services Purchasing Site: All technology purchases, including printers, must go through the Technology Services Purchasing Site. Devices purchased outside this process cannot be connected to the CPS network.
• Support limitations for outside purchases: Printers and devices obtained through grants, PTA donations, or other external sources (including specialized laptops and printers) will receive limited support from Technology Services. While staff will attempt to assist, support may be restricted.

Need Clarification?

If you are unsure whether a specific device will be fully supported, please contact the Technology Services Department before making a purchase.

Equipment for New Classrooms

• Ordering equipment: Submit requisitions for new technology equipment, including items needed to equip new classrooms, through the Technology Services Purchasing Site.
• Specific ordering instructions
  • Smartboards and Clear Touch Panels: Use the fund source “New Classroom Capital” when ordering Smartboards for classrooms approved by Business Services.
  • Other devices: For all other technology items, such as computers, monitors, and projectors, use your building account code as the fund source.

Thank you for following these guidelines and helping maintain a secure and reliable CPS network. If you have questions, please contact Technology Services.
