One to One Chromebook Student and Parent/Guardian Responsible Use Agreement Taylor’s Crossing Public Charter School is supplying all students with a Chromebook device or Windows laptop. The technology device will allow students access to educational applications, web-based tools and many other useful sites. The technology device is an educational tool not intended for gaming, or social networking, and all users will be expected to follow the Taylor’s Crossing Public Charter School Technology Use Notification, board policies 3265A2. 3270, 3270P, the Student and Parent Handbook, as well as all other state and federal laws, board policies and administrative procedures. Receiving Your Technology Device: One technology device and a power cord are being loaned to the student which is in good working order. The student and parent/guardian acknowledges and agrees that use of the District property is a privilege and that by the student and parent’s/guardian's agreement of these terms, they acknowledge their responsibility to protect and safeguard the district property and to return it in the same good condition upon request by the TCPCS. Parents/Guardians and students must sign and return this agreement before the technology device can be issued to the student. The technology devices will be collected at the end of each school year, on a date to be determined, so they can be checked for serviceability and to be stored for the summer. There will be no cost for students unless there is damage or neglect that is not covered by the optional Voluntary Electronics Protection Plan. Parents/Guardians and students must sign and return this agreement before the technology device can be issued to the student. Ownership: The technology device is owned by the school district and will remain the property of Taylor’s Crossing Public Charter School and is loaned to the student for educational purposes only for the academic school year. Care and Responsibility: The student is responsible for the general care of the technology device that has been issued by the school. The technology devices that are lost or stolen must be reported immediately to the main office of the school where the student is attending. If a theft occurred at school or at a school related event or activity please report to your principal. Identification labels have been placed on the technology devices. Both the serial number and name stickers on the technology device will be used to identify its assigned student in case of loss or theft. These stickers must not be removed or modified. If they become damaged or missing please contact your school's administration. Student Safety: All student 1:1 computing devices are configured to filter internet content and communications at school, at home, and on any other network. All electronic communications, activities, and files created and/or accessed on TCPCS technology are not private and are subject to being viewed, monitored, and/or archived by the school at any time. Content Filter: The school utilizes an Internet content filter that is in compliance with the federally mandated Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). All technology device(s), regardless of physical location and internet connection, will have internet activity filtered. Despite the filter, the school cannot guarantee that all controversial or inappropriate materials will be blocked. While internet filtering is intended to restrict access to inappropriate or non-educational content, TCPCS cannot guarantee that students will not intentionally or unintentionally access content that may be deemed unacceptable. If you accidentally access inappropriate content on your device, report it to school staff immediately. All electronic communications, activities, and files created and/or accessed on TCPCS technology are not private and are subject to being viewed, monitored, and/or archived by the school at any time. Damages, Repairs and Warranties: All technology device problems must be reported to the office. If you opted into the Voluntary Chromebook Protection Plan the district will repair or replace the damaged equipment resulting from normal use. If you did not opt into the Voluntary Chromebook Protection Plan you will need to pay for the cost of repairs or a replacement if the damage is too significant to repair. The district will make its best attempt to purchase replacement parts at the best possible price. All required repairs for technology device will be processed by the Taylor’s Crossing Public Charter School Technology Department. DO NOT attempt to repair the technology device yourself. Damaged technology devices should be brought to the school to initiate the repair process. In the case of loss/theft, a police report should be filed by the parent/guardian. A copy of the police report should be provided to the school Administration within seventy-two (72) hours. Returning: The technology device and power cords will be collected at the end of each school year. Failure to turn in a technology device will result in the student being charged the full replacement cost. Any student who transfers, withdraws or is expelled prior to graduation will be required to return his/her technology device and power cord upon termination of enrollment. Failure to turn in the technology device to the school office on the last day of attendance will result in the student being charged the full replacement cost of technology device, power cord and shipping costs.

Technology Use Notification 2022-2023 The purpose of this Technology Use Notification is to describe the responsibilities and privileges of users of Taylor’s Crossing Public Charter School’s technology resources.

Voluntary Chromebook Protection Plan Agreement The parent(s)/guardian(s) of all students may choose to enroll in a Voluntary Chromebook / Windows Laptop Protection Plan to help cover costs if the electronic device is accidentally broken or damaged. The plan must be paid for within 7 days of the student checking out the technology device. The protection plan may not be purchased after damage has occurred to the technology device. The cost of the Voluntary Chromebook / Windows Laptop Protection Plan for a student is $30 a school year (12 months) per device and is non-refundable. For new students registering January 1 or later the parent/guardian’s pro-rated cost will be $15 through the remainder of the year. While there is no cost for the use of the technology device, it is imperative that each technology device that is issued to a student be maintained and handled in a responsible way. If the Voluntary Chromebook / Windows Laptop Protection Plan is not taken, the parent/guardian will be responsible to pay the total cost of whatever repairs are deemed necessary. If the damage is determined to be beyond repair, the charge may be the full replacement cost. See technology device cost sheet for reference. The Voluntary Chromebook / Windows Laptop Protection Plan safeguards you against accidental damage, such as unintentional liquid spills, drops, falls and/or other collisions. The protection plan does not cover misuse, neglect, misplacement/loss, or intentional damage. The parent/guardian will be responsible for the entire cost of repairs or replacement of the technology device damaged through student misuse, neglect, intentional damage or loss. In case of theft, an official police report will be required. Multiple damage events may not be covered by this policy (more than two (2) damage claims in one year may be deemed neglect and not covered by this agreement). The parent/guardian will need to purchase this protection plan through the school office before your student is allowed to check out a technology device or have indicated that they elect to decline the offered Voluntary Chromebook / Windows Laptop Protection Plan, in which case they assume full financial responsibility for the technology device including theft, loss or any damages. It is highly recommended that parents/guardians take advantage of this opportunity. To enroll, check the appropriate box indicating you wish to enroll in the Voluntary Chromebook / Windows Laptop Protection Plan. If you choose not to enroll, check the box that states you do not intend to enroll in the plan. Payment for the plan can be made in person at the office. Payment must be received for the plan to take effect.
