Technology Donations

The Ravenswood City School District is grateful to potential donors of new and used computer equipment and software. However, we cannot accept equipment or software that is outdated, not in working condition, or that is not compatible with our network environment. Because of this, a set of minimum requirements has been defined to ensure that any donated equipment will meet the needs of our schools by providing the necessary tools to improve student achievement.

How to Donate

If you would like to donate technology equipment to the Ravenswood City School District, please contact:

       Solomon Hill, Director of Technology at (650) 329-2800 x60166, solomonh@ravenswood.k12.ca.us
