Chromebook Information

Pennsbury High School Chromebook Loaner Policy

The following policies, procedures and information within this document apply to all Chromebooks borrowed from Pennsbury High School East and West Library.  

Chromebook Loaner Due to Repair

Students with a damaged Chromebook or charger in need of repair will:

• Bring the damaged Chromebook to either East or West Library.

• A library loaner will be assigned to them and they will keep the loaner until their own Chromebook has been repaired and returned. 

• Students borrowing a Chromebook are responsible for the care of the loaner as if it were their own, and are subject to charges for damages, theft or loss.

• The library staff will contact the student when repairs are complete.  Repaired Chromebooks will only be returned to the student when the loaner is returned to the library. 

• If the repair is a broken charger, the charger needs to be brought to the library and a new one will be issued.  The Information Technology Department (IT) will determine if there is an additional charge.  

Please Note:

If it is determined that damage is due to careless/malicious handling, IT reserves the right to refuse repair under the insurance agreement and there will be a fee for repair. 

Daily Loaners 

Students may borrow Chromebooks from the library.  

• Students can only check out a Chromebook during the first 15 minutes of each period.

• All Chromebooks borrowed must be returned that same day.

• Students can only borrow a Chromebook once per day (i.e. cannot borrow from West A period, return to West, then borrow one from East during C period).

• Students are responsible for any damage or loss incurred on the loaner Chromebook.

• The libraries do not lend out Chromebook chargers.   

Students who do not return their Chromebook:

After three (3) days

Email reminder sent to student account

After five (5) days

Account disabled and obligation written for cost of loaner ($233)

After two (2) obligations have been written during a school year, the student will no longer be allowed to borrow a Chromebook from the library.

Frequent Borrowers of Loaner Chromebooks

• If a student has opted into the district 1 to 1 Chromebook program, they can only borrow a loaner from the library five (5) times a semester. 

• This limit includes any reason you need to borrow (ex.: I forgot to charge it, my battery died, etc.).

• After the fifth time, an email will be sent to the student account notifying them that they will no longer be able to borrow a Chromebook.
