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.
