Guidelines for Used Computer Donations
Schools in Hamilton County are fortunate to have strong parental and community support.
Community donations are genuinely appreciated. However, it is not always in the
best interest of the schools to accept donated computers.
Donated computers often require additional expenditures of time and money for the
school or the school system. For this reason, schools are encouraged to accept only
those donations that facilitate the school's technology plan, are compliant with
the school's computing platform, and can become viable with minimal expenditures.
Donated computers must meet minimum system requirements in order to be supported
by district repair personnel. These requirements should indicate that the equipment
is not more than three years old and will remain useful in the classroom for a reasonable
period of time.
