This is just a reminder of our technology fees for the school year. Students need to be responsible with all school-issued devices when at school or at home.

Lincoln County Schools Device Policies

3220, 3220-R, 3220-R2

  • Every student K-12 will receive a school-issued device

  • The use of personal technology to access educational material is not a necessity but a privilege. A student does not have the right to use his or her laptop, cell phone or other electronic device while at school without the approval of school personnel. When abused, privileges will be taken away.  When respected, they will benefit the learning environment as a whole.

  • Damage or Loss to District-issued device:

    • 1st consequence: $40

    • 2nd consequence: $60

    • 3rd consequence: $120

    • Lost/stolen/unusable/not-returned : $200 flat fine

  • Fines are cumulative and carry over from year to year, school to school.

  • If a student damages a District-issued device to where it is unusable, the student will be given a replacement device. The replacement device must remain at school until fees are paid on the previously damaged device.  Distribution of a replacement device will be at the principal’s discretion.

Policies 3220, 3220-R, and 3220-R2 were approved at the August 10, 2021 Board of Education meeting. To read the full policy, visit the Lincoln County Schools’ website, under Board of Education / Policy Manual. https://boardpolicyonline.com/bl/?b=lincoln
