What is the Microsoft CyPres Settlement?

Most Florida school districts will receive a financial award in the form of purchase vouchers for the purpose of purchasing equipment and software as the result of a settlement between consumers and Microsoft Corporation.

How is it determined which schools will receive settlement funds?

Settlement participation was determined by the free and reduced lunch enrollment for the 2005-05 school year. This count had to be at 50% or more of the total school population.

Which Sarasota District schools are participating in this project?

Alta Vista, Infinity, Booker Middle, Tuttle, Gocio, Oak Park, Oak Park South, Glenallen, Emma Booker, Phoenix, and Cyesis

When is it required that the Purchase Approval form be submitted to the Office of Instructional Technology?

It is recommended an evaluation of your site's technology resources take place first. Guidance with this process can be obtained should there be a need. Contact Mike Horan for assistance.

Use the Suggested Purchases document as a guide for purchases. Certainly modifications can be made to this document.

The District has until April 2010 to submit documentation for settlement monies. Our hope is that your purchase decisions will be made during the 2007-08 school year.
