Equipment Standards

Computer technology is an important classroom tool for teachers and students to support the teaching, learning and access to information and communications.  A computer will not last forever.  The following table below shows the status of computers In Service that may be found in the Hacienda La Puente Unified School Distict.  This information is provided to help schools plan for the budgeting and replacement or surplus of equipment.

"Beyond Economical Repair (BER)":  Defined as a condition where a technology costs more to repair than it is worth. For example, say the market eBay value of a Dell Optiplex 270 desktop computer is roughly $50, what someone would pay for a 8 year old computer.  Factoring replacement parts (e.g. hard drive, fan, etc) and technician cost per labor hour, if the parts and labor repair outweigh the value of the equipment, the system is Beyond Economical Repair (BER) and a candidate for surplus or replacement.

Surplus Equipment:  If you have items for surplus that are broken, beyond economical repair (BER) or need to be removed from your classroom or school site, use the following procedure:

1)   Complete the HLP Surplus Equipment Form  (click here for .PDF form)

2)   Return the completed Surplus Equipment Form to Purchasing Department

3)   Purchasing will arrange for pickup of the surplus by either the  1) warehouse delivery truck or 2) our e-waste vendor
