[CASL-L] 1:1 Chromebook charging preparation?

[Tracy Earnshaw]

At my high school, we have a cart of 30 loaners for a population of 550 or
so.  We also lend chargers.  We have 10 for each grade level.  All
electronics must be brought back by the end of the day.  If not, first
offense is a warning, second is a month-long ban.  It works pretty well.
