software.
If it is a school owned computer, then all software purchases and
installations must go through the Department of Technology.=20
In answer to your questions:
The technology department keeps all original software disks. Copies
are made for backup purposes only and are stored in a separate location.
We do not allow teacher owned software on the school computers. If the
software is needed by the teacher, the school will purchase a copy.
The main reason we have such a strict policy, is so that we can keep
accurate licensing records and stay compliant.

Subject: Software Storage at your school
Good morning, all! I have a question, the answer to which some might
consider obvious, yet a perplexing one to me: Does you school have a
policy about installing software on faculty computers?=20
By policy, I must become more specific: (1) Does the technology
department keep the software? (2) Do the teachers keep the software? (3)
Does the technology department make copies of the software and return
the original copies to the teacher? (4) Does the technology department
make copies of the software and return that to the teacher? (5) If the
teacher owns the software, would your school permit him/her to keep the
software in the classroom? These questions may be in conflict with one
another, but these are the questions I have been facing at my school. I
have no answers right now, just questions.=20
Thanks so much

Afternoon,

What is the general opinion of tech director's and network managers
regarding nonschool issued laptops to connect to the school's network?
=20
Does your school also allow internet access with nonschool issued
laptops?
=20
If your school does allow network access, what policies(please share)do
you have in place regarding support for these nonschool issued machines?
=20
What prerequisites does your school have for the guest machine to
attach? Antivirus, patches, spyware protection etc.?
Thanks for your assistance.
