Can the district survive without a copy center? What do copies cost the district?
During the 2008-2009 school year, the schools made 9,211,798 copies through the central copy center. The cost for the year was 1.125 cents per copy or $103,640. Depending on the machine, copies made on school copiers cost between 1.9 cents to 3.6 cents per copy. (Worst case, the same 9 million copies at 3.6 cents each would cost $331,625.) Schools can save money by sending their copies to the copy center. The most important savings the central copy service provides is that the district hires an employee to monitor and producing the 9 million copies. If the central copy service was not available, school employees and teachers would be spending a lot more of their time in front of a copier, not a very efficient use of their time.
