     1. The email address of the vendor's GCSD School Principal/Dept Manager is required when submitting the form.  Please make sure this is accurate or the form will not correctly.
     2. GCSD Vendor accounts can be used to access our copiers by typing in the username and password directly into the copier. As a convenience, vendors may also request a copier PIN in the "other" section of this form or by emailing techhelp@greececsd.org.
  2. Vendor account requests are created within 3 business days after approval and expire on June 30 or earlier based on need.  Extensions may be requested through your GCSD School Principal/Dept Manager as needed via email to the supervisor and tom.mariano@greececsd.org.

Approved Websites/Software/Digital Resources with Personally Identifiable Information

• New York State Education Law 2-d requires that any digital resource, free or paid, that collects personally identifiable information of students or staff to be approved by the district. These resources must be under a Third-party contract secured by the district or a BOCES acting on behalf of the district. Per GCSD Board of Education Policy 5671, employees are also not authorized to enter into "click-wrap" agreements with vendors without the district's approval.
