Although the Menlo Park School District is very grateful for all the offers of technology donations that we receive, we can only use a very small portion of what is offered. To maintain a reasonable level of consistency and performance in the district's equipment, we generally do not accept computers that are more than three years old.

We adhere to a set of minimum standards for technology equipment in order to insure that the students in the district have access to late-model computers to enhance their education. This also facilitates the district's abilty to service and maintain the 650 computer systems throughout the district. If you would like to see the district's technology donations policy, or the minimum standards, please click the link below. The document also has suggested systems if you would like to purchase a new computer for one of our schools. Please contact Jim Bowlby, Technology Coordinator, at 650-326-5164 x116 if you have any questions.

All accepted donations will receive a letter of confirmation for tax purposes. After your have received donation approval from the Technology Office, be sure to leave your name, business, and address with your equipment when you drop it off.

For donations that we do not accept, you might try contacting a neighboring school district, other area non-profits, or a recycling center such as CRC. Keep in mind that most recycling centers now charge a fee to dispose of equipment more than a few years old because of state toxic waste requirements.
