AP 134 - Division Assigned Technology Equipment

Background

Under Horizon School Division Learning Technology Plan, the following areas are supplied with computers and technology equipment purchased under the Technology Budget.

Principal Laptop
Secretary Desktop
Librarian Desktop
Main Lab Computers (max of 30 including teacher station)
Main computer lab printer, and projector (printer toner and projector bulbs are a decentralized cost)
File Server
Wireless switching equipment and access points
Wired network switching equipment
Network infrastructure consisting of data wiring and terminated network jacks

Procedures

To ensure consistent equipment in these areas, the equipment assigned to the principal, secretary and librarian from Horizon School Division’s technology budget will be assigned to the respective position and must not be reassigned at the school level for alternate purposes.
Main lab computers are assigned to the lab area and should not be removed from the lab area and used in secondary areas of schools, unless there is an exceptional circumstance that would result in better meeting the needs of students. When the main lab is replaced, the existing computers will be moved to secondary locations within the school; those secondary locations are determined based on existing electrical and network wiring.
Principal laptops are to be returned to head office for reassignment when replaced by newer models under the Learning Technology Plan.
Secretary and Librarian units can be moved to secondary areas within your schools after newer models have been installed under the Learning Technology Plan.
Network infrastructure equipment and file servers follow replacement under the Learning Technology Plan.
