Definitions:                         
In this agreement, “we”, “us”, “our” and “the district” means the Indian River School District. “You” and “your” means the parent/guardian and student enrolled in Indian River School District (IRSD). The “property” is a Chromebook, iPad or other approved student device with charger owned by Indian River School District (IRSD)    

Terms:                                 
You will comply at all times with the Indian River School District’s Parent/Student Telecommunications Access Policy, incorporated herein by reference, and made a part hereof for all purposes. Any failure to comply may terminate your rights of possession effective immediately.

Title:                                     
Legal title to the property is in the District and shall at all times remain in the District. Your right of possession and use is limited to and conditioned upon your full and complete compliance with this Agreement.

Loss or Damage:               

 You may be charged the fair market value of any devices or parts that are damaged, or for devices or parts that are lost. You must report damage, loss or theft of the property to the school by the next school day after the occurrence. Device damage or loss of minor parts (IE Chargers) will be invoiced with a two step process.

The first incident in a school year will be recorded and the cost will be written off at the full expense of the district. A notification will be sent to the guardian. A replacement device will be issued. A second incident will be recorded and an invoice will be issued for payment to the guardian. The student will be issued a device that may no longer be taken outside of the school for a period of two weeks. After that period, a student will be re-issued a device if the invoiced balance is paid OR the student completes a training activity on responsible device care. If the invoiced balance is not paid, it will remain a balance for the remainder of the school year and be subject to collection policies outlined in “Policy - JFCB Care of School Property by Students”. Subsequent incidents of damage will be handled exactly as a second incident, and additional disciplinary action may be levied at the discretion of school administration.

Any malicious or intentional damage witnessed by school personnel will automatically be treated as a second incident and follow the steps outlined, and be subject to disciplinary action at the discretion of school administration. In the case of theft, evidence must be presented to substantiate the claim in the form of official school or law enforcement documentation.
