Schools in Shelby County are fortunate to have strong parental and community support. Community donations are genuinely appreciated. However, it is not always in the best interest of the schools to accept donated computers.

Donated computers often require additional expenditures of time and money for the school or the school system. For this reason, schools are encouraged to accept only those donations that facilitate the school's technology plan, are compliant with the school's computing platform, and can become viable with minimal expenditures.

Donated computers must meet minimum system requirements in order to be supported by district repair personnel. These requirements should indicate that the equipment is not more than three years old and will remain useful in the classroom for a reasonable period of time.
