Hardware Inventory

The Hardware Inventory section of the Department of Technology is responsible for documentation, inventory updates, and equipment removal of all computer systems, printers and other peripherals purchased by BCPS for schools and offices.

Baltimore County Public Schools currently has over 27,000 computers in use throughout the county, and this number is continuously changing. Hardware Inventory keeps track of these by dealing with a computer liason in each school building. Each machine has a unique number used to track it, and each piece of equipment is documented in a complex database.

Hardware Inventory also provides the computer-to-student ratio and other statistics about equipment use.
