CDC- Technology Partner Purchase Agreement

Approval Date: June 11, 2019

CDC-Technology Partner Purchase Agreement

The District supports personal ownership of the technology devices used for activities in harmony with the district mission.

The District strongly believes the following practices will encourage the best and most cost-effective use of devices:

  1. Providing the same device to the same user.
  2. Allowing users to purchase devices during or at the conclusion of the device rotation cycle.
  3. Allowing users to bring and use their own device(s).

The District is willing, where circumstances are favorable and responsible for the District to do so, to enter into partner purchasing agreements with individuals for device(s) directly used by said individuals for the functions and operations of the District.

Partner Purchasing Approval

Devices are designated for partner purchase by the administrator or department head responsible for the budget funds used by the District in making the initial purchase.

Devices normally purchased for district operations or activities, and intended for exclusive use by an employee or student are eligible for a partner purchase.

Devices may not be included in a partner purchase at any added expense to the District either due to the term of the contract or at a cost exceeding those normally occurred in supporting district operations or activities.

A contract between the District and the partner must also be signed by the approving administrator and the parent or legal guardian of the student, and then filed with the District IT Department.

An inventory shall be maintained for all partner purchased devices showing the purchasing fund, date of contract, date of purchase, information identifying the specific device, and record number of the contract.

Inventory reports will be available to administrators authorizing partner purchases at least annually or upon request.

Ownership of devices transfers from the District when the terms of the partnership purchasing contract are met.

Administrators or department heads authorizing a partner purchase will represent liabilities associated with partner purchasing contracts in the annual budgets associated with respectively indemnified funds.
