In hopes of centralizing the receiving and onboarding of devices, all ordering locations enter IT3 in the "Ship To" field on requisitions entered for the purchase of computer devices.  In the "Reference" field, enter Cost Center Number - Location Name/Contact Name. Note: This is the same Munis step we have been using for iPads for the past few years. 

In addition, do not order any accessories (e.g., monitors, docking stations, etc.) on the same req as the device since IT3 only services and receives the devices. See the IT3 link for more detailed information on this change.

As JCPS moves toward a future state of Everyone:1 for technology, staying in alignment with Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) recommendations and supporting all aspects of student agency is our goal for purchasing instructional technologies. In that spirit, the Builds & Brands found below are fully recommended and supported. Note: Desktops are not part of the vision for JCPS technology moving forward. If after viewing the approved items below you have questions or concerns, please contact JCPS IT at hardwareapproval@jefferson.kyschools.us.

If there is a device you wish to purchase, and you feel strongly about advocating for the device, please submit a waiver for your purchase to be reviewed for consideration.

MacBook Information (all new models beginning Fall 2025)
JCPS I.T. is now using JAMF School licensing for MacBooks. Enter a requisition as follows:
Line Item #1 - If purchasing a Mac option below, enter a requisition using the MacBook CC# found under KETS/Computers. If another model, you will have a quote from Eileen and use generic CC# 4600150-1729093 for the device.
Line Item #2 - AppleCare 3-year warranty using CC# 2120425-1732091. Product information found below with MacBook model.
Line Item #3 - JAMF School Lifetime license (1 per laptop) using CC# 2120425-1732091. Apple PART# HL2M2LL/A, $25.00 per license.
Line Item #4 - JAMF Connect using CC# 2120425-1732091. Note: JAMF Connect is for 7 years of access, you can enter this as one line item on the requisition by multiplying the quantity by 7 (for example, if you are buying 1 MacBook the quantity for the JAMF Connect line will be 7 at the current unit price). Apple PART# HNER2LL/A, $3.35 per license/year.

iPad Information (11th gen. & 5th gen. Air only)
For Apple iPads, there are two requisitions (information below on entering those requisitions). Note: JCPS I.T. uses JAMF as the mobile device management (MDM) licensing for iPads. This license allows each iPad to be managed remotely (just as Google Management works with Chromebooks). In addition to the cost of the iPad and AGI warranty/services, this additional expense will need to be taken into consideration when budgeting for iPads. This cost will be handled as an internal budget transfer process after the fact of ordering iPads and warranties. The cost is $36 per iPad for six years (which is the average iPad life cycle). Within 60 days of the receipt of the device, an IT3 team member will reach out to the ordering location's requisitioner for the appropriate account code to be charged (will be the same code used to purchase iPads and warranties as directed below).

• Req# 1 to Apple—Vendor# 56184
  Note: Do not order Apple accessories on the same req as iPads. This causes problems with shipping due to using a third-party service vendor. Change "Ship To" location to code IT3 with ordering location information in the "Reference" field (i.e., #Cost Center Number—Location Name/Contact Name). Apple will ship devices to AGI, where they will set up the device and install a case. AGI will then ship the devices to JCPS IT3, where they will be received in Munis and delivered to your location by the JCPS Customer Care Team following asset tagging.

• Req# 2 to AGI (See ordering information below.)

When making technology purchases, you should follow these guidelines:

• Student Workstations—A student workstation is any instructional device a student uses for learning (including Chromebooks, Windows laptops, and iPads/Tablets).

• Assistive and Adaptive Technology—Hardware that permits an instructional device to be used by a special needs teacher/student/staff, while not restricting others, along with associated maintenance costs

• Classroom Instructional Technology—Projectors, interactive panels, document cameras—any technology hardware (that is not a “workstation") along with associated maintenance costs
