11. Policy Changes for Technology at FHSA this year:
FHSA has made changes in our 1:1 program to ensure sustainability of devices within the current and future budget restrictions/constraints of the LRSD.

12. Changes in 1:1 Technology Policies
K-3rd grade students will be assigned iPads will keep them at school for instructional use in order to
Avoid an increase in instances of breakage in order to sustain the 1:1 iPad program at FHSA.
Enable projects to be conducted and supervised by our K-3 classroom teachers.
4th-8th grade students will be assigned Chromebooks and can continue to take device home.
HOWEVER, Parents will be strongly encouraged to purchase insurance for students using Chromebooks. Those who paid $25 last year at FHSA may apply it toward the $29 Chromebook Yearly Insurance Fee (for this year only) and only pay an additional $4. *INSURANCE PAYMENTS ARE ONLY VALID FOR ONE SCHOOL YEAR AT FHSA. EACH ADDITIONAL YEAR WILL REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL FEE PAYMENT.
The school year ended with 30% of the Chromebooks requiring repairs/replacement.

13. NOW - Changes in 1:1 Technology Policies are as follows
Without the purchase of insurance, parent(s)/guardian(s) will held be financially responsible for the device, charger, and/or bag.
There are no replacement or loaner devices available.
Students will have to wait for insurance provider to repair if insurance has been purchased. This process will be forthcoming. Information will be made available when we receive it.
If a student does not have insurance coverage, the parent(s)/guardian(s) must provide compensation for any repair or replacement to be initiated.
