Agreement for Laptop Use
The Post Oak School is pleased to issue the following laptop for
your sole use on and off the school campus. On campus, the school
will provide a safe environment for your laptop use. Off campus, you
promise to follow all reasonable measures to protect this laptop, to
comply with The Post Oak School's Acceptable Use Policy and netiquette
guidelines, and to use this laptop and the Internet in a constructive
manner.
You are responsible for backing up any data saved on the
laptop's hard drive. We recommend that you save all files to the
school's network instead of the laptop's hard drive; alternately,
you may check out a flash drive from the director of information
technology.
If this laptop is lost or stolen, you will be responsible for
paying $250.00. If it is damaged, you will be responsible for up to
$250 for necessary repairs, except in the case of mechanical
failures not due to negligence. Such payments are due within 45
school days of the RETURN date noted below or within 45 school days
of the day that The Post Oak School learns that the equipment has
been damaged, lost, or stolen. New equipment will be issued when
payment is received.
=09
Laptops must be returned to the director of information
technology at the end of your contract, on your last day of
employment, or when you change your job position at the school,
whichever comes first.

I think this might have been covered in this forum before. Unless the
loss is truly through gross negligence, the cost is covered through the
IT department. We usually have 2-3 laptops and 3-4 cameras a year "die"
while out on loan. This has included soda spilled in it, a bike accident
(where the laptop was in the backpack and got crushed), and items being
dropped. In all instances, the school has covered the cost for
replacement. =20

Hi,
Wondering how various schools handle wear/tear and loss/theft issues for
loaned equipment, both to employees and students when possible. If a
laptop
drops and is broken, does your IT department eat the cost? Any
experiences,
good or bad, with charging a theft (or some portion of it) out of a
salary
or adding it to tuition bills?
Also would love to hear if anybody's taken a more pro-active approach,
either in bonuses or recognition for well-taken-care-of hardware or not
having to file a helpdesk ticket to fix things (rewarding preventative
medicine like anti-virus, so to speak).
Thanks, and happy almost Thanksgiving!
-Michael
