Report repair needs to the appropriate source. Overhead projects report to LAUSD Central Shops, TVs and VCRs to LAUSD ITD. Any computer, printer, software, or network problems should be reported ASAP to LAUSD ITD. You will be issued a reference number for each report. If you need help in working with ITD or SIS, contact the Tech Coordinator AFTER you have reported the issue and have a reference number. The Tech Coordinator can work with you in some of the gray areas that ITD or SIS may not address. But all requests for repairs for problems with already installed computers and printer should go to ITD first. The supervisor in each office is responsible for making sure trouble calls are reported. You can either call ITD at (213 or 866) 633-8110, fax their office at (323) 343-0114, or fill out the online ITD Customer Support Request Form. For the SIS Helpdesk, call (213) 241-4850. See the ITD customer support page for more information.
Make sure your staff is following the LAUSD AUP and not downloading or installing unauthorized software. All staff members should have read and signed the Software Policy and Code of Ethics.
See ITD for other bulletins and forms.
