Distribution


 * OBJECTIVE:** All students **MUST** have a functional laptop checked out to them each school year.


 * PLAN:**
 * Staff members receive a laptop as soon as their hiring paperwork is processed so that they can use it during summer staff development (both campus and district) and to prepare for the school year.
 * Students (10th-12th) attend laptop distribution before the beginning of school and receive their laptop. These distribution days are scheduled on weekends to ensure that parents can attend with their students.
 * Those who are unable to attend (around 20%) receive their laptop on the first day of school.
 * 9th graders are required to participate in a laptop training course (through their W. Geo class) before receiving their laptop. The course is from 4-7 days and requires a score of 90 or above on the laptop test. The training course can be accessed on Blackboard (course #006_077).
 * The Campus Techs run a report of students who have not received laptops and give this list to Mr. Creeger (technology VP) who works with these students to get their laptops distributed.
 * The student's principal can set up payment plans for students. In extreme cases, we waive laptop fees for students who can not pay the $50.
 * **Laptops are an integral part of the classroom environment and students can not be successful in class with out them.**
