Need technical support?

You need to take the following steps:
How do I get a new PC?
  • New PC's are budgeted on a yearly basis.  There are many types of funding sources (grants, donations, capitol improvement, and operational budgets). CIC works with district administrators to find viable solutions.  Submit a request to be included in these budgets. Check with your principal to see if a signature from him/her is required.
What if I need access to certain programs, such as grading, finance, etc?
  • The CIC can assist with the correct Point of Contact to gain access.
How do I get an email account?

  • Be aware that ....some companies/organizations are 'dumping' old equipment on school districts for two reasons: a tax write-off, and to rid themselves of the financial/legal aspects of computer disposal. Old computers contain hazardous material that simply cannot just be thrown into the trash. People involved with illegal disposal of computer equipment are subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Liability Act (CERCLA) otherwise known as the Superfund Act. If caught, there are some serious fines.
