West Green Elementary School is set to receive new computers as part of an initiative to upgrade aging technology in preparation for the opening of a new building. During the recent CCBOE Work Session on August 28, 2025, school officials discussed the need for these new computers, which will initially be installed in the current West Green facility and later moved to the new school once it is completed.
The recommendation to purchase the computers was made by school board members, who emphasized the importance of having updated technology for students. The selected vendor for this purchase is System Liquidation, known for providing reliable refurbished computers with a lifetime parts warranty. This decision follows a history of positive experiences with the vendor, which has proven to be cost-effective compared to previous suppliers.
The new computers will feature a more advanced model than those previously used, ensuring they will last longer and offer better performance. While the cost of these refurbished units is higher than older models, the investment is expected to yield significant benefits in terms of durability and capability.
This upgrade is part of a broader strategy to phase out older computers, with West Green Elementary being the next school in line for enhancements. The school board's proactive approach aims to ensure that students have access to the necessary tools for their education, aligning with the district's commitment to improving learning environments across Georgia.
