Consider it your introduction to networking. I would ask someone in the office if they could direct you to the IT director, or depending on how big the school/school system is, find out who is in charge of the entire department and go from there. The worse they can say is no, and no doesn't necessarily me no. You might just have to talk to the right individual who could make that call. I recently started with a temp agency where I live reimaging all the computers in the school system. I've already got 2 lcd dell monitors that need new bulbs, and five hard drives that were removed. All I did was ask if I could have them since they were just going to be throw away. Its not much, but there are more then fifty schools in the district and this is all in the first week. There is a poster at one of the schools I was working at today that said " You will always pass failure, on your way to success" - Mickey Rooney. Get comfortable with talking to people about what you do, and even if the first 10 say no that next one might just say yes. Not sure if you're wanting to do this as a career, or just make some extra money on the side, but whatever the case you'll get out what you put in. Best of luck and keep us updated.
