Technology Loaner Program
Reviewing the Technology Loaner Program report as of today, we currently have 206 devices issued to students no longer enrolled in our District.
Unfortunately, these devices are not covered under the District's insurance policy or warranty, therefore it will be a loss for the District if we are unable to retrieve the devices.
Please follow the steps outlined here to identify devices issued to inactive or transferred out students, and follow up with the families to get the device returned.
Once the device(s) has been returned, please update PowerSchool > Technology Loaner Program to reflect the device returned.
Please let Laura know if there are any questions.
