III. Technology Guidelines

• Proposals including technology need the signature of the Director of Technology. Purchases are made centrally by the DT to ensure compatibility with district technology.
• Granted technology is for grantee use for the duration of the project, but remains the property of the Falmouth Public Schools.
• FEF values sustainability and hopes that the project will continue in a similar way beyond the funding year. If the project ends or if the grantee's assignment changes, it is the building principal's decision as to where the equipment will reside and how it will be used.
• Falmouth Public Schools provides repair, maintenance, and upgrades to funded technology.
