<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The current computers already in place are some very old and very big Apple Desk Tops (approx. 1-2) per classroom these should be recycled back to the Apple Recycling Program. Apple’s commitment to being a responsible environmental citizen includes working to ensure that electronic equipment is properly disposed of at the end of its useful life. Apple’s free computer and iPod recycling programs in the US make it easy for consumers to help protect the environment. Apple customers in the US have several options for recycling their used iPods, systems, and displays. (Apple, 2010) Then there are some newer Apple Desk tops in each classroom. If they are useful, then they could be left in the classrooms for individual student use. Currently Caroline County is replacing teacher lop tops with new ones. The old ones could be sold for extra revenue. I am sure the Microsoft Office software will be updated to the 2010 version. If any other licensing needs to be updated, which doesn't seem to be the issue because the programs intended for teacher and student use are district-wide, then all licensing policies will be followed and acted upon in a timely manner as expected.
