Software Install Request

The School District of Grand Island purchases licensing for software tools which are designed to support
the teaching, learning, and productivity goals and objectives of the district. However, on occasion staff
members may find additional software pieces which they may wish to have installed on computers in their
work environments.

Certain software products residing on CD-ROM disks do not require installation on individual
workstations (i.e. The Living Books series). The software will operate from the CD and may be utilized
independently by students and staff members. However, products which require installation on district
owned workstations or the network must be reviewed and are subject to district procedures.
The following guidelines must be followed prior to installation of staff and student owned software
packages.

•Student owned software must be presented for installation by the classroom teacher. Software
will not be installed on district machines or the network at student request.
•Staff members must obtain a Software Installation Request form from the Building Level
Technology Support person.
•Staff members must complete the Software Installation Request form.
•Staff members must show proof of ownership of the software.
•A license must be purchased for each installation requested (i.e. one license = 1 computer).
•The staff member's administrator or supervisor must approve the software installation request.
•The completed and signed Software Installation Request form must be presented to the Building
Level Technology Support person.

Examples of software which might support teaching and learning include storybook CDs, reference CDs,
and drill and practice software. The software must support or extend existing curriculum objectives.
Management pieces might include rubric development software. Questions
relating to appropriate software may be directed to the Director of Instructional Technology or the Director
of Data Processing.
