Rural Arizona School District Leases IT Equipment

Quartzsite School District #4, an Arizona school district, recently obtained IT equipment through a lease with TEQlease Capital. Quartzsite School District #4 was established in 1953. There are two K-8 schools in the district with a total of 230 students. There are a total of 12 classrooms and two computer labs in the district; each classroom has four student computers, one teacher laptop, a printer, and either a projector or a SmartBoard with a short-throw projector. TEQlease Capital, a nationwide provider of equipment lease financing solutions, provided Quartzsite School District #4 with a comprehensive, customized lease financing solution. “With the new equipment, we’re able to shift our focus from getting the computers working to implementing new education technology, such as Google Apps.” Said Pablo Cervantes, IT Coordinator at Quartzsite School District #4. “Another benefit about having our equipment leased is that we have flexibility for future projects. Technology gets outdated rapidly, so after the lease is over we can send the computers back and implement new projects that would benefit our teachers and students.”
