Hardware loans are limited to laptops, digital cameras, multimedia projectors, and other portable devices. Desktop computers may not be removed from the classrooms at any time. All equipment must be checked out through the school LMC, with a time limit of one week during the school year and three weeks during the summer if there are others on a waiting list.
Software may be evaluated at home, but may not be permanently loaded or used on a home computer unless the license allows it.
The purpose and intent of making equipment available for loan to teachers is to enhance learning opportunities for students.
