Utilizing instructional tools gives students the access to learn anywhere, anytime – both in the classroom and at home. Personalized learning narrows the digital divide between students and promotes responsible use of today’s ever changing technologies.
Student Responsibilities
We are very excited to be able to make these powerful tools available to our students. We also provide rules and guidance for students to keep these tools secure and in good working order.
Like textbooks, team uniforms and other school property issued to your child, students are responsible to take appropriate care of these valuable resources. This device is no different, but it does represent an increased cost to the district and liability to students and parents.
- Our experience with mobile technology has shown that students take great care of these tools, but we know that loss and accidents will happen.
- District policies, regulations and practices require that a charge be levied to cover the repair or replacement cost of district property. With technology devices, the cost of loss or damage can be significant.
- Families may also check with third-party vendors and their homeowners/renters insurance carrier for coverage.
Damaged Device
In the event a device is damaged (cracked screen, broken switches or buttons, lost charging brick/cord, damaged protective case, etc.), the repair costs will be waived and the device will be repaired by the district at no cost to the family.
Stolen Device
In the event a device is stolen off-campus, file a police report within 24 hrs and bring a copy to school.
If any equipment or software breaks down during the time it is on loan, the student and/or parent must contact the school within one working day. In the event the equipment needs repair or replacement, it must be turned in to the school or the district’s Technology Department rather than arrange to have it repaired by a third-party source. This includes the device and any peripherals, including chargers, power cords, and cases.
Jailbreaking Device
Jailbreaking is strictly prohibited. It is the process of removing any limitations placed on the device. Once jailbroken, users are able to download additional applications, extensions and themes that are not otherwise available.
- Jailbreaking a device is equivalent to total loss of the device.
- Willful violation or misuse of the device may result in forfeiture of the device.
- The district will not accept equivalent replacement items provided through third-party purchases.
If a family leaves the Corvallis School District, but does not return the device and its peripheral equipment, they will be charged the full replacement costs, and standard rules for the restriction of records and transcripts would apply. Law enforcement and/or collection agencies may be involved for the purpose of recovering district property and/or charges.
