Student Laptop Fines
First Two Weeks Grace Period |
The first two weeks after new device deployments (not swaps) we replace all accessories and devices without charging the student. This does not include loss or damage. |
---|---|
Defective Accessories |
If a student reports their charger or stylus suddenly stops working and we determine they do not work (after troubleshooting) we replace the charger/stylus at no charge. |
Broken/Lost Accessories |
If a student breaks or loses a charger or a stylus they can purchase one from the school. If the student wants to purchase a new stylus from us, we apply a fine on their account per SVSD Business department requirements. Students are also able to purchase a stylus or charging cable elsewhere. *See Fines for Replacements below. |
First Time Device Breakage |
If a student has a broken device and the damage was accidental, we do not charge them the first time (we check the user account for any notes to confirm if it’s the first instance.). We update the user information to reflect the situation. |
Intentional Damage |
If a student breaks a device due to negligence on their part (i.e. not accidental), we apply a fine for either the cost of repair or replacement. Note: Students with IEP’s/504’s whose device is damaged resulting from behavior related to their disability will not be charged for repair or replacement. *See Fines for Replacements or Estimated Fines for Damages below. |
Repeat Device Breakage |
If a student comes with a broken device a second/third/etc. time, we can charge the student for the repair - the repair cost is determined by the price we will pay our service provider for fixing the device. *See Fines for Replacements below. |
Lost/Stolen Device |
If a student reports a missing device and we cannot find the device, we assign a fine to the user for the full replacement cost adjusted for devaluation. If the device is found the fine will be removed. See Fines for Replacements below. If a student reports a stolen device, they should report it to the police and bring a copy of the police report. If no police report is presented we assign a fine on the student account for a missing device. |
