Technology Resources Borrowing Policy
draft, 19 August 2002
Certain resources of the Technology Committee are freely made
available to the faculty for use by teachers for classroom related
activities. All teachers are encouraged to use these resources.
For more information on available resources, contact one of
the school’s technology coordinators.
Teachers are requested to follow the guidelines listed below
to ensure easy access and availability of these resources:
-
All
equipment is checked out as normal school supplies or books
are with the school ID.
-
Each
person who checks out technology equipment is responsible
for this equipment and for the care of this equipment. If
the equipment is lost, this person is responsible for replacing
the equipment, or if the equipment is damaged, this person
is responsible for paying for repairs, if the repairs are
caused by negligence.
-
Each
person checking out equipment is expected to return it in
the allotted time. While there are no fines for the late returning
of equipment, the right to borrow technology resources can
be curtailed if a lack of concern for or abuse of the system
is exhibited.
-
Teachers
must submit the names of all students who will be allowed
to borrow technology equipment before students may borrow
such equipment. This list must be approved by a meeting of
the school’s technology coordinators. Additional conditions
may be placed on students based on records or previous experience.
Students who borrow technology equipment must have a consent
form signed by a parent or guardian no more than one time
per academic year. A student’s right to borrow technology
equipment can be curtailed at any time and without warning.
Students are responsible for lost and damaged equipment.
-
Teachers
are not responsible for the damages their students may cause
to technology resources. However, if the teacher is found
to have been negligent in supervision or it is felt by the
school’s technology coordinators that technology equipment
is not being adequately used by particular teachers, limitations
can be placed on the right of these teachers to borrow technology
equipment.
