Can I Purchase a Used BPS Computer?
This is a common question from teachers, administrators, and even parents. The answer we give is "no" and here is why.
The success of our replacement schedule is dependent on the moving of replaced computers to their next purpose level (e.g. classroom pods, keyboarding labs, etc.). Our district uses every bit of life we can in our computers and relies heavily on reallocating used computers to accomplish better student/classroom access. This cycle of computer life within BPSD as well as educational software licensing issues are primary reasons that we are unable allow current staff, retiring staff, parents/community members, or administrators to purchase computers from the district.
