Equipment
Corcoran Unified School District (CUSD) retains sole right of possession of the iPad and related equipment. The iPad will be issued to students according to the guidelines set forth in this document. The classroom teacher, school administration, or district employee retains the right to collect and/or inspect the iPad at any time and to alter, add or delete installed software or hardware. Usage is a privilege and not a right.

Substitution of Equipment
In the event that the iPad is inoperable, CUSD has a limited number of spare iPads for use while the iPad is repaired or replaced. This agreement remains in effect for the substitute. If a student forgets to bring their iPad or power charger to school, a substitute will not be provided.

Customization of Equipment
The Student is permitted to alter or add files to customize the assigned iPad to their own working styles (i.e. System Preferences). The student is not permitted to install software on the assigned IPad. The student may also customize their case for their iPad as long as it adheres to school and district policy.

Damage or Loss of Equipment
Report any damage or loss to the classroom teacher, who will determine necessary action. All iPads are covered by a manufacturer’s extended warranty as well as an additional insurance policy. The warranty covers manufacturer’s defects. The insurance policy is an fee of $50 per device for family and carries an additional $100 deductible for each claim. The $100 deductible is also the financial responsibility of the student’s family. The insurance covers accidental damage from liquid spills, power surges, drops, falls, collisions, theft (police report required), vandalism, flood, fire, smoke, wind, and earthquake, as well as damage to batteries and ac adapters. Insurance does not cover loss, negligence and abuse. For example, throwing the iPad or using the iPad as an umbrella would be considered examples of neglect and abuse. If an iPad is lost or damaged by neglect or abuse, it is the family’s financial responsibility to replace the iPad at a price of approximately $500. If an iPad is damaged, CUSD will work with the student, Apple, and the insurance company to determine if it is a warranty or insurance claim incident.
