Dell 2300 Projectors
Projectors are being provided and assigned to each classroom for educational
purposes (i.e., not for home use). They should receive the same degree of attention
to security as other materials and equipment in the classroom with regards to safety
and theft. The projector should remain in the assigned room; and if for some reason
it is moved from the assigned classroom, the Tech Assistant should be notified.
