End-of-Year Laptop Collection

Memo from Lori Jones to Principals via Principal's Bulletin - Week of April 23

End-of-Year Laptop Collection

To clarify, it is NISD's practice to collect all teacher laptops at the end of the school year. The rationale for this is:

1. Numerous District-wide summer initiatives (New Teacher Academy, STEPS, summer school, various summer institutes, CampTECH, etc.) take place where a laptop in the classroom is required. After laptops are checked in, using the Laptop Computer Assignment System (LCAS), they should be cable-locked in place in classrooms where summer initiatives are taking place.

At the principal's discretion, a very small number of laptops may be re-issued (via LCAS) to teachers who require them for specific NISD school business. In general, the needs of District-wide initiatives supersede the convenience of allowing teachers to keep the laptops over the summer.

2. Teachers may leave the employ of NISD/your campus during the summer, so laptop recovery will be a non-issue when they are collected at the end of the school year.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
