We happily support your resourcefulness in seeking additional means to help meet educational goals for our students; however, there are many unforeseen costs that may be associated with your purchase or award.

You may purchase items that you will use in preparation of teaching tax exempt per Ohio Revised Code, http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/5739.02, under section 37:

(37) Sales of personal computers, computer monitors, computer keyboards, modems, and other peripheral computer equipment to an inpidual who is licensed or certified to teach in an elementary or a secondary school in this state for use by that inpidual in preparation for teaching elementary or secondary school students;

You will need to print and complete a form ( http://tax.ohio.gov/documents/forms/fill-in/sales_and_use/exemption_certificates/ST_STEC_B_FI.pdf), take a copy of your teaching credentials, and bring a copy of the Revised Code from the State of Ohio website.

Absolutely.

If a computer is turned off, you can turn it on to use it at any time. When the restart program initiates, the system basically checks to see if it is started. If it is not started, it will boot the computer automatically. If it is already started, it will do nothing.

Each night the computer will check for any updates and then start a shut down at a designated time – most likely 10:00 pm.

The only potential problem will occur if you are working on a computer when the shutdown is initiated. You will be given a warning window indicating that the computer will be shut down in xx number of minutes and that you should save your work. You will want to save your work and allow the computer to shut down, so that you do not lose work and that all updates and applications can be applied to that computer. If you need to continue to work at that time, you can restart the computer.

We are discussing ways that will enable users to stop a shut down that has been sent if they are working on something and cannot be interrupted; however, we wish to avoid this and select a time that makes sense throughout the District.
