This purchase is for the replacement of projectors that through comprehensive evaluation have reached their end of life and fallen below the minimum acceptance standards for instructional purposes.  Through an inclusive evaluation process, the BenQ projector was the clear choice by teachers and evaluators for its superior image brightness, color, and clarity along with a full 4-year warranty, higher rated lamp life, and less required maintenance.  These purchases will be made under the auspices of the School Board of Sarasota County audio visual bid.  Funds for this purchase can only be used for Capital items and are contained in the 2011-12 and 2012-13 year's Information Technology Capital Budget (9020).
