Upgrading a Grade School
The school is required to purchase from the district in order to receive on-going support and maintenance on the computers. We do have parents experienced in this field currently researching less expensive options, but as things stand right now, the price for the computers ready to go for the students to use is around $1,000 each. The price quoted is for new Macs - which after doing research we found is preferred by the teachers and is the current standard for school computer labs. Beyond the printers (one color and one b&w), the price also includes the projector with document camera - which is the modern, hi-tech version of the overhead projectors we grew up with - and yes, that is on the expensive side. We looked into options of purchasing refurbished computers, but for many reasons, beyond on-going maintenance felt that new, top quality computers were the best choice for our students given that odds are we will have to use them for several years to come. Our students deserve more than a modest improvement from what we have, they deserve to be equipped with the best resources available.— January 27, 2009 11:12 p.m.
