Technical Repair

Technical Repair Center
COSER 504
The Technical Repair Center is comprised of three programs: Audiovisual Equipment Repair, Computer Repair and Musical Instrument Repair. School districts have the option of participating in one or all of these programs, but to receive aid on these services, the school district must participate in the Educational Communication Center’s Courier Service.
Audiovisual Repair
COSER 504.01
This program provides repair service for participating school districts’ audio visual smart classrooms and video equipment. The service can take place either at the BOCES repair center or at the school site. School districts also have access to the repair technician for consultant services. Schools are billed separately for any replacement parts used to repair or maintain their equipment. Replacement parts are not aidable. The service provides for the pickup and delivery of equipment on a daily basis through the Educational Communication Center’s Courier Service.
Computer Repair
COSER 504.02
This program provides professional repair for district-owned instructional computer and associated peripheral equipment. As with audiovisual repair, services can take place either at the repair center or at the school site. Since replacement parts used in the repair of district-owned equipment are not aidable, districts will be billed separately for these items. Pickup and delivery of equipment is facilitated by the Educational Communication Center’s Courier Service.
Musical Instrument Repair Service
COSER 504.03
The Musical Instrument Repair Service provides repair service for all brass, woodwind, string and percussion instruments owned by a school district. Repair work is done either on-site or at the BOCES repair center, whichever is appropriate. The BOCES repair center also provides a cleaning and shining service for all brass instruments using an ultrasonic machine. Pickup and delivery of equipment are also provided on a daily basis through the Educational Communication Center’s Courier Service. Replacement parts used in the repair of instruments are not aidable. In order to receive aid on this service, school districts must participate in the Educational Communications Center’s Courier Service.
