Repair of CTE Equipment

Computers that are out of warranty will not be repaired. Follow this link to special ERD procedures for computer disposal.

For all other CTE equipment, use the following procedures.

If a piece of CTE-funded equipment (not computers) needs repair:

  1. Teacher notifies by e-mail CTE Central Services Contact (Senior Administrator or School-to-Career Coordinator) detailing the following:
    • type of equipment
    • brand
    • model number
    • serial number
    • age of equipment
    • Is the item small/light enough to be taken off-site?
    • brief description of the problem/issue/difficulty
  2. On or Off site repair
    • If on-site repair is necessary, CTE Central Services Contact calls vendor to set appointment for repair and responds to teacher through e-mail giving name of vendor and time/date of expected repair. (Teachers are not to contact vendors for repair.)
    • If off-site repair is needed, CTE Central Services Contact responds with an e-mail either:
      • giving teacher permission to take and retrieve only those item(s) approved for repair or
      • sets a date when the Senior Administrator will come to the school to pick up the item needing repair.
    • If teacher has permission to deliver the item for repair, a print out of the e-mail should be given to the vendor as authorization for repair.
  3. The CTE Central Services Contact will confer with vendor as to the cost effectiveness of having the item repaired.
  4. CTE will not pay for any equipment repairs not approved in the e-mail from the CTE Central Services Contact.
  5. CTE will reimburse travel expenses incurred when teacher takes and picks up equipment to be repaired. Travel reimbursement is allowed for round-trip mileage from school to vendor repair destination. See Travel Instructions for reimbursement procedure.
  6. If equipment is not repairable as deemed by vendor, teacher will retrieve equipment and follow ERD instructions to dispose of equipment.
