The TV is not period correct. Source: 2000's kid
Edit: Neither is the VCR, it looks mid-late '80s
Your school was well funded.
I went to a well funded school in New England, this was period correct even as late as 2013. For VHS especially these carts were still in use, but starting in maybe 2007/2008 some teachers would use their computer + VGA projector setup for DVDs. Especially since there weren't enough carts to go around
So it's period correct for an underfunded middle school in the 00s
lol maybe, VCR's are a bitch to service though. It probably would have been cheaper to replace it. I have no basis for that, just guessing. Feel free to call me out.
Oh for sure, doesn't stop schools from trying

My daughter was born in 2010 and she has experienced the TV/VCR combo on wheels multiple times.
It's funny, I have an old JVC VCR from about that time that I want to get serviced. Maybe some time if there's anyone left alive who knows how.
