Policy IJNDBB

Laptop Computers

In general, it is the policy of the South Portland School Department, for students in  Grades 7 and 8 to utilize laptop computers in school and to allow students to take the  computers home.  

Home Schooled students will not have access to the laptop computers.  

Each student participating in the Laptop Initiative is expected to abide by the South  Portland School District’s Acceptable Use policy and should treat the unit in a respectful  manner from the time it is taken from the storage cart until it is returned. Damage from  abuse or misuse will be covered by Policy IJNDB-R: Student Computer and Internet Use  Rules, however students are responsible for loss or damage beyond normal wear and use.  Students will be billed for replacement and/or repair costs.  

It is the student’s responsibility to connect the portable unit for battery recharging at the  end of each school day. Unauthorized programs cannot be added to the unit and the  student is responsible for saving his/her work.
