Ownership of the district-issued devices (Chromebooks, iPads, or laptops) rests with the East Penn School District and is only to be used by the student the device has been issued to; students will not share it with others, including family members. Students will follow the guidelines set forth in EPSD Policy 815, the Acceptable Use of Technology Resources, Electronic Communication and Information Systems.

Students are to return district-owned devices and accessories upon withdrawal from the district or upon graduation. Third party accessories will not be accepted; replacement chargers can be purchased at the student’s school.

It is the responsibility of the student to keep the assigned device and accessories secure and protected at all times. Methods to protect the device include:

· keeping drinks, food, and other harmful materials away from the device.

· keeping the device out of extreme temperatures.

· never leaving the device unattended and susceptible to theft.

Financial restitution may be sought for negligent or intentional damage. Negligent damage may include loss or misuse of accessories (charger), spilling a drink on the device causing it to malfunction, or exposing it to extreme temperatures. Students are not to place stickers on their devices, the cover, or to remove the asset tag from the device; doing so is the equivalent of destroying school property and may result in school consequences. Intentional damage will be determined by the building administration, and an invoice will be issued for the damage.

If a device is reported lost, stolen or missing, the following actions will be taken to recover the device:

1. The student should report the device missing to a staff member at their assigned school who will then notify the Technology Department.

2. Geo-location services on the device may be activated, and the device may be placed in lost mode or disabled to prevent others from using the device.
