PROCEDURE FOR CHECKOUT
Hotspots will be checked out in much the same manner as a library book.  The serial number of the hotspot will be recorded along with the student name and parent/guardian information.  Students are responsible for all equipment checked out in his/her name.  These devices will be inspected by BSD staff members once they are returned.  Students are expected to check in the same serial numbered equipment as originally checked out.

Parent/Guardian must sign the Chromebook Loan agreement.


USE OF EQUIPMENT
Students must have an Internet Usage Agreement signed by student and parent/guardian in order to use the hotspot at home and to use the Internet.
The school hotspot is to be used for educational purposes only.
The use of the hotspot must not violate the existing Acceptable Use Policy that is currently in the Parent/Student Handbook.
Students may not destroy, deface, or alter hotspot equipment.
Students may not hide files or activity on the hotspot.


THE NETWORK
Engaging in online activities that are inappropriate will result in automatic termination of the student's network/Internet privileges in accordance with the Parent/Student handbook.
Sending messages via school technology with the intent to intimidate, frighten, threaten, or bully another person is considered harassment and will have significant consequences per the Parent/Student Handbook.
Students may not change, alter, bypass, or attempt to bypass any hotspot security measures including filtered Internet sites.


PRIVACY
It is a violation to share your hotspot with anyone else, or to access any account belonging to other students, faculty, or staff.


MANAGEMENT
Since the hotspots belong to BSD, BSD will be monitoring all devices.
BSD also reserves the right to search Internet accounts accessed with school equipment without permission if it is felt that illegal or otherwise inappropriate use of technology is occurring. Improper use of BSD technology devices will result in loss of network/Internet privileges, and other consequences as per the Parent/Student Handbook.

Submit their hotspot to school authorities upon request.
Accept monitoring of student usage of the hotspots at any time, when requested by school personnel (teachers or administration).
