What you should know:
As a department, we keep a general surplus of basic items such as keyboards, mice, various cables up to 6 ft long, and adapters.
Everything else is dependent on what we have left over from previous projects, what we may get back from school sites, and how many extras of an item we are able to order. A lot of factors are involved and a lot of it comes down to availability.
Bottom Line: If there are things you need, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to assist in any way we can. If there is something that you need, and if we have it available, we will get it to you.
However, if there is something we do not have, or don't typically keep a surplus of, we will let you know. At that point, we would invite you to reach out to your site administration, or the head of your department, to order what you need. If approved, purchased, and delivered, the Technology Department can assist in helping you get things set up.
There are are instances when we get asked about specific items that we do not keep a surplus of. Below is a list of items that you will either need to purchase yourself or have your department purchase for you. We provided links for each item in-case it is something you are interested in.
Wireless Keyboards and Mice (all of our keyboards/mice are wired)
A set of speakers for a desktop computer (we do not carry speakers)
Webcams (We do not carry webcams)
Headphones for classrooms (We do not carry headphones)
Mice for classrooms (We have some mice. But not enough for all classrooms/all students)
Pointer/Clicker (We do not carry pointer/clickers)
Longer HDMI cables (our surplus of cables go up to 6ft)
Longer Ethernet cables (our surplus of cables go up to 6ft. Anything longer will have to be ordered)
A great resource for all your district needs, what you can get, and how you can get them would be through our Technology Coordinator. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding VUSD District purchases and more, please contact Jim Wasielewski.
