Retiring or moving to another district?

What about the computer carts and desktops in my classroom?

Fully charge and then unplug COWs and Chromebook carts. Lock carts and store them for the summer in a locked room. OSD techs will plug in the carts in late August, but you should also check that the device charges before passing them out for student use.

OSD techs will disassemble lab and library desktops. Place classroom machines on countertops or leave in place, with cords and keyboards available.
