Electronic Repair Centre: We service all computer, audio-visual and related electronic equipment. For I.T. related repair, your school SST must evaluate the computer or printer first. They will then fill out a repair form and send it through the board courier system. For audio-visual equipment, any staff member can fill out the form and send it in though the courier. If your school needs forms, an email can be sent via the top right corner of this page. Note: If a repair is related to a special needs student, please indicate on the repair form. Special Education needs will be given priority. IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR ANY EQUIPMENT YOURSELF. IT IS HARDER FOR US TO FIX, AND IT CAN BE DANGEROUS.

If you plan to mount it, only Board approved, heavy duty mounts are to be used, no substitutes will be accepted. If you plan on using an existing cart, we have special mounts for that as well. Email us to get the process started.
