Electronic Device Terms of Agreement

For accidental damage, if the device is still under warranty and a warranty co-pay is required, the warranty co-pay is the responsibility of the family. If the device is out of warranty, the family must pay to fix or replace the device for any damages beyond normal wear and tear.

The right to use a school computer at home is a privilege. Families should be aware of the potential benefits and risks that come with technology use. If learners do not adhere to the rules and guidelines in this handbook, the privilege to use their school computer/tablet/electronic device at home may be restricted or eliminated. A Technology agreement form must be signed before your EF can place your technology order.

Software support—First avenue of support is application’s help system (online, email, in person); Second avenue of support is Google; Third avenue of support is iLEAD Tech Support (Hub).

Learner and parent/guardian responsibilities:

Ethical and appropriate use:

Technology is intended for instructional use and school-related business. It is not intended for commercial use. Users will not engage in unauthorized activities. Any unauthorized activities will result in immediate termination of use and the electronic device must be returned immediately. These include, but are not limited to:

If electronic device is lost, stolen, or damaged:

If lost, stolen or damaged, please notify the school immediately.
If the electronic device is lost or stolen, a police report is required for coverage.
If damaged, submit a ticket through iLEAD Tech Support to use the school purchased warranty for damages or technical issues. For damage beyond the warranty, or if warranty has expired, the family is responsible for that cost. For damage beyond normal wear and tear, the family must pay to fix or replace the device. Any costs for repair that are not covered under warranty are the responsibility of the family. If the item is under warranty, the family is responsible for any copay. Failure to pay the repair in a timely manner may mean the learner loses the privilege to have the electronic device.

Monitoring and supervision:

The electronic device should be used in a location where use can be monitored and supervised by a parent/guardian. Unsupervised use is strongly discouraged (e.g., use in a child’s bedroom).
Use of the electronic device by other family members is not allowed unless listed on the agreement.

Internet access at home:

Learners are allowed to access the internet using broadband or wireless connection.
While internet filters provide an important level of protection, no filter program provides 100% protection. Monitoring and supervision are still very important.
