If the device is damaged, the District will fix it or send it out for repair. Depending on the severity of the issue a replacement or loaner device will be issued to the student. Under no circumstances should the student or anyone else attempt to fix a damaged device. District provided devices are the property of the West Shore School District and District personnel will oversee all repairs. In the event a family is responsible for reimbursement due to damage or a lost device/charger a financial obligation will be assigned to the student in accordance with Board Policy 224: Care of School Property.

- Subsequent Incident(s): a financial obligation will be assigned to the student for the actual repair or replacement cost.
