ANY Medfield family may chose to borrow or lease an iPad from the school. Click here for Borrow/Lease documents.
BORROWED AND LEASED DEVICES
School apps are pushed directly to these devices through the MDM. They are, for all intents and purposes, school-only devices.
AREN'T BORROWING AND LEASING THE SAME THING?
No, in this case, they are not.
Borrowing a device is free. However, the device always remains property of the Medfield Public Schools - it never becomes yours. Also, at the end of the school year, BORROWED devices are turned back into the school - they do not go home with the students over the summer. At the start of the next school year, the borrowed devices are re-distributed to the students.
Leasing a device will incur cost. There will be three equal payments made over the course of three years. After the third payment, the device belongs to you. It is no longer the property of Medfield Public Schools. You may choose to remove it from the MDM at this point (please note, removal from the MDM will result in the loss of all the apps and any data stored within. The student will then need to re-download all the school apps using a personal Apple ID.)
