Student Laptop Fines
First Two Weeks Grace Period |
The first two weeks after new devices are distributed (not replacements) we replace all accessories and devices without charging the student. This does not include loss or damage. |
---|---|
Defective Accessories |
If a student’s charger or stylus stops working and we find it doesn’t work after troubleshooting, we will replace it for free. |
Broken/Lost Accessories |
If a student breaks or loses a charger or a stylus they can purchase one from their school. If the student wants to purchase a new stylus from SVSD, we apply a fine on their account per SVSD Business department requirements. Students can also purchase a stylus or charging cable elsewhere. *See Fines for Replacements below. |
First Time Device Breakage |
If a student’s device breaks accidentally, we don’t charge them the first time. We check their account to make sure it’s the first time and update their information. |
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 to their school library or media center. If no police report is presented, we assign a fine on the student account for a missing device. |
