Rationale:  With the continuous cycle of technology updates changing at a more rapid pace each year, along with changing education standards, we recommend leasing the equipment as identified in this recommendation. Technology leasing keeps our costs predictable while providing plenty of flexibility in how we allocate those dollars over a longer time period. Smaller, predictable payments help avoid the risk of budget dollars not being available when 100% of the funds are exhausted up front , allowing us to ensure we keep up-to-date with technology and focus on additional technology needs around wireless improvements and internal infrastructure that would be cost prohibited if these items were not leased.
