We are working now to develop a program for distributing computer equipment from the school district's surplus to parents in our local community who would not otherwise be able to afford a computer. The biggest obstacle is the fear that a direct donation from school to home would incur support responsibilities for the school district, already straining to meet its internal support needs.
We are hoping to "triangulate" the relationship with a non-profit as the direct recipient of the donation, and to help that organization find a way to develop the support program.
Anyone dealing with anything similar who might have suggestions or insights?
Thanks for any help you can give. Regards, Fred

This may seem off-topic for this list, but I see this sort of thing as bearing on the reasons for the divide, and the mechanics (sometimes flawed) of improving the situation.
