6. SECURITY AND DAMAGES Responsibility to keep the device secure rests with the individual owner. The School District of Pickens County, its staff or employees, will not be liable for any device stolen or damages to any device on campus. If a device is stolen or damaged, it will be handled through the administrative office similar to other personal items in such situations. It is recommended that appropriate skins (decals) and other custom forms of identification are used to physically identify your device from others. Additionally, protective cases for technology are encouraged.

7. BYOD STUDENT AGREEMENT The use of technology to provide educational material is not a necessity but a privilege. A student does not have the right to use his or her laptop, cell phone or other electronic device while at school. When abused, privileges will be taken away. When respected, they will benefit the learning environment as a whole. All students need to complete and return the permission form.

Students must register their devices at each school following district protocol. Students must turn off their data plans while on campus. Students will use personal technology devices only for educational purposes when instructed in classrooms. When teachers call for “Devices Down”, students must shut off/close devices. Not every teacher allows BYOD. Students must follow teachers’ directions. Any misuse will result in standard cell phone/technology disciplinary action.
