As always, districts will be able to use SchoolNet Plus funding to purchase items offered on the catalog. Additionally, Ohio schools can purchase from the catalog using other funding sources such as local, state or federal funding that allows the purchase of educational technology equipment.

Note: A Hall Pass is required to access the Catalog. This prevents web crawlers from indexing this special Ohio educational pricing.

• Adopting mainstream technology - proven, available, and competitively priced components for 12 months providing stable acquisition period
• Common Specifications - meets the needs of most while providing price leverage
• Image stability and product lifecycle - fewer image changes reduce cost of support and ease deployment
• Form factor choice - workspace is a premium; many vendors offer all-in-ones or small form factor options
• Bundles - bundle options provide leverage in negotiating a total package
• Warranty - with increasing demands on district tech staff, shift repair duties to vendor with a minimum 3 years, next day warranty service (or depot for laptops)
