Software & Hardware
Manor ISD has begun establishing standards for hardware and software. Continued strategic partnerships with DELL and Apple have provided a consistent hardware base and price throughout the District. All software purchases and installations must be approved by ITS with an understanding of support for all software intended for instructional purposes that is purchased through Curriculum and Instruction.

DELL Optiplex 755 Desktop Computing
ITS has established a standard model of DELL desktop CPU for all users (students, staff, and administrators). A standardized model allows for streamlined support and operations. The standardized staff and student model is a DELL Optiplex 755.
  MS Office Productivity
Manor ISD is currently standardized on Microsoft Office 2003. The standardized Operating Systems are Windows XP and Mac OS X Leopard.

DELL E Series Laptop Computing
The standardized model of laptops are DELL Latitude E6400 series and Apple Macbooks. The District is also restructuring its classroom computing environment by proposing new Dell 2100 Latitudes in carts as opposed to additional desktops in classrooms.
