We are such a small school I have allowed borrowing of MacBooks to students to go home and stressed "if you break it the buy it" and will have to pay $1,000.00. You can have the student fill out a form with information stating they are responsible for the equipment and cost if not returned in the condition it was checked out in and have their parent/guardian sign it before checking it out.
Hope this helps Maureen

We didn't have laptops to lend to students at Sage Park Middle School unless there was an IEP.  The laptops we have are in carts and are used as part of classes in school.

Subject: [CASL-L] TARGET: Lending laptops to students

 

I am posting this on behalf of Maureen Rust. Please respond directly to her, not to me!

Today a parent has requested her child be allowed to “check out” a laptop for use over the weekend. She will need a laptop because she is attending a girl scout event and will not be able to use her home computer to complete some school assignments. We currently do not have a policy about lending laptops for student use outside of school. My principal has asked that I check with other area librarians to see if anyone else has a policy or has had a similar request.
